BRENTWOOD, Tenn.  – The next generation of professional golf continues to impress on the biggest stage. The 102nd PGA Championship hosted by TPC Harding Park in San Francisco was claimed with the help of golf spikes.

At 23 years old, the winner was able to hold off a Sunday leaderboard full of superstars. With the help of traction technology provided by Softspikes® and Champ®, the Champion was able to hit the shots necessary to place him in the history books as the 102nd PGA Champion.

“Helping a player win his first Major is always a thrill for us as a company.” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports/MacNeill-Pride Group. “It’s exciting to see our golf spikes continue to win the biggest events.”

The footwear worn by the winner of the 2020 PGA Championship was the Adidas Tour 360 shoe outfitted with ThinTech Hybrid Metal golf spikes.

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.golfspikes.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. More information can be found at www.champspikes.com and www.Softspikes.com.
