Brentwood, Tenn., – Softspikes® propelled the world’s No.1 golfer to a PGA Tour victory at the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. The win sees him become the first player since 2007 to win 7 times in a PGA Tour season.
Wearing his favored Tour Flex Pro Spikes, the world No.1 finished 30-under par and four strokes clear of second place after a final round of 4-under 67. It caps a remarkable 2024 for the American who has won an Olympic gold medal, a second Green Jacket and successive Players Championship titles.
His eighth win this season and seventh on the PGA Tour saw the world No. 1 become the 32nd PGA Tour winner to do so wearing spikes in the last 35 PGA Tour events. In addition, 88% of the field trusted spiked over spikeless shoes at East Lake GC, a testament to the importance of replaceable traction when battling it out for the FedexCup title.
“To have the world No. 1 winning a successive FedEx Cup after a stellar season wearing our Tour Flex Pro spikes caps off an amazing season for Softspikes on the PGA Tour. This year alone we have seen over 91% of tournaments won by players trusting replaceable traction,” 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.
