Brentwood, Tenn., – Bermuda to Dubai to Phoenix – different tournaments, different courses, but one consistent advantage: elite players trust spikes. Softspikes enjoyed another commanding week across the world’s leading tours, with titles secured on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and PGA Tour Champions by athletes opting for the proven stability and ground control of replaceable spikes. Once again, traction technology played a decisive role when the pressure was at its highest.
At the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, conditions were unforgiving from the outset. Severe winds curtailed practice rounds and turned preparation into a test of resilience. With season status on the line and only two events remaining in the FedEx Cup Fall, the field faced a demanding challenge at Port Royal. The champion prevailed using Pulsar spikes in FJ footwear, handling the gusting crosswinds and coastal lies with control and composure. Notably, 35 of the top 41 finishers chose replaceable spikes over spikeless a clear indication of the competitive advantage offered by superior traction in difficult weather conditions.
Thousands of miles away in Dubai, the DP World Tour season concluded with a finale worthy of its stature. A congested leaderboard delivered charge after charge, including a bogey-free 66 that set a target at 18-under. The eventual tournament champion, wearing Skechers footwear equipped with Metal Stinger spikes, secured the DP World Tour Championship title after a dramatic playoff.
Separate from the tournament result, the season-long Race to Dubai title was claimed by a different Softspikes wearer, whose reliability across 2025 delivered the Tour’s highest year-end distinction. With Tour Flex Pro traction underpinning every performance, the campaign combined worldwide victories, exceptional consistency and a defining team contribution, resulting in a record-extending seventh season crown
In Phoenix, the PGA Tour Champions season drew to a close at Phoenix Country Club. A composed final-round 67 delivered the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, one of the standout performances of the senior season. Trusting Tour Flex Pro spikes with FJ footwear, the winner reached 20-under-par and held off the final-round pressure with assured control from tee to green. The season-long Charles Schwab Cup title was secured by another standout relying on FJ footwear paired with Pulsar spikes, closing out a campaign built on precision, consistency and tour-proven traction.
Across all three tours, Softspikes once again demonstrated the depth and breadth of its performance advantage. Pulsar, Metal Stinger and Tour Flex Pro each delivered in very different environments, from coastal wind to desert turf, ensuring that when championships were on the line, the world’s best placed their trust in replaceable spikes.
“Traction is not a small detail; it is crucial,” said Joe Henderson, President of PrideSports. “Every swing, every step, every moment under pressure depends on it. We’re proud to see so many of the world’s best golfers trusting Softspikes when everything is on the line.”
Softspikes continues to lead the field in tour-proven traction, powering championship performances across the global game.
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 replace their spikes every 15 rounds.
