BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – PrideSports® congratulates Team Europe in their Ryder Cup win at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy this weekend.
Professional golf’s premiere team event delivered another exciting 3 days of match play as the US and European teams squared off with the Ryder Cup on the line. Despite a strong start from Team Europe, the contest was still up for grabs until one of the final pairings in the Sunday singles matches.
While headwear became a major topic of discussion on Saturday and Sunday in Rome, one piece of equipment that nearly all of the competitors could agree upon was spiked footwear. Out of the 24 participants in the Ryder Cup, 21 trusted replaceable traction technology from Softspikes or CHAMP.
The spikes of choice this week were CHAMP Metal Stinger spikes or Limited Edition Tour Flex Pro spikes. With Nike, Under Armour, and other major brands creating special shoes for the occasion, the Limited Edition Tour Flex Pro in both Team USA and Team Europe color delivered a bit of extra team spirit with their proven performance.
“Another exciting Ryder Cup is in the books!” said Joe Henderson, President of PrideSports®. “What an honor it must be for these players to represent their country or continent in this event. The Ryder Cup is a great way to mark the end of the season and we’re already looking forward to next year.”
Replacement Softspikes® and CHAMP® cleats can be purchased in the golf section of most large retailers, sporting goods stores, golf specialty and golf course pro shops across the country. Cleats can also be purchased online from any of these locations, your favorite online store or directly from www.softspikes.com
PrideSports® is the undisputed leader in the golf cleat segment with its CHAMP® and Softspikes® brands. The company recommends golfers change their cleats every six to eight months – or even more frequently based on use – to ensure golfers get the maximum performance out of their footwear.
CHAMP’s Helix®, Zarma Tour® and Stinger® cleats, as well as Softspikes’ Pivix®, Pulsar®, Silver Tornado™ and Stealth® cleats, dominate the OEM and secondary market in terms of performance and sales.
