Brentwood, Tenn. – Softspikes® enjoyed a lockout of the podium finishers in Paris as the gold, silver and bronze medalists all put their trust in replaceable traction enroute to medal winning performances for their respective countries.
Wearing his favored Tour Flex Pro spikes, the World No.1 produced a course-record equaling final round 9-under-par 62 to secure a one-shot victory and the coveted gold medal for the United States. In front of packed crowds at Le Golf National, it was also a one-two for Tour Flex Pro, with the silver medalist claiming a well-deserved medal for Great Britain. The bronze medalist from Japan, wearing ProFlex spikes, was a further shot back at -17. 35 of the top 39 finishers in Paris chose replaceable spikes over a spikeless alternative.
“The golf tournament in Paris proved to be a magnificent display of golf and to have all three medalists equipped with Softpikes is truly a podium performance for the brand and continues a momentous year for us in professional golf.” commented Joe Henderson, President, Softspikes.
Tour players change grips and traction regularly based on course conditions, but amateur golfers rarely think about the impact wearing spikes has on consistency and distance. To achieve optimal performance benefits, golfers should be switching up their spikes every 15 rounds.
