Brentwood, Tenn. – Softspikes® claimed a 13th win in the last 15 PGA Tour events following a thrilling finale at The Valero Texas Open on Sunday afternoon, including an all-spikes playoff in which the winner triumphed on the 1st extra hole with a birdie.
Wearing adidas Tour 360 golf shoes equipped with replaceable spikes, it was the winners’ second PGA Tour victory, but his first in a 72-hole stroke-play start. In addition to earning him the coveted final spot in this week’s first Major, the win moves him up to 12th position in the season long FedExCup standings.
With 87% of the field wearing spikes and 45% of those trusting Tour Flex Pro, the No.1 spike on Tour, it was no surprise to see that 62 of the top 68 finishers in San Antonio were wearing spikes. The runner up in playoff was wearing Paynter golf shoes with Tour Flex Pro.
Commenting on the win at The Valero Texas Open, Joe Henderson, President, Softspikes commented, “To be heading into the season’s first Major with 13 wins for players wearing spikes in 15 PGA Tour events is an impressive start to the season and sets us up for a strong week this week in Augusta, Georgia.”
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.
