Brentwood, Tenn. – Softspikes® walked away with a second Major Championship of the year on Sunday at The PGA Championship as the winner, wearing PINS ThinTech spikes in his adidas Tour 360 shoes, lead from wire-to-wire to claim a long-overdue first Major title.
Starting the final round tied for the lead at -15, the Californian came out of the blocks firing, making birdies on the 1st, 4th, 7th & 9th holes to make the turn in 4 under-par 31. A bogey on the 10th hole was quickly rectified with back-to-back birdies on the 11th and 12th holes to set up a 72nd hole grand finale where a 6ft birdie putt was calmly holed for a 6-under par round of 65 and an emotional first Major title.
The win at The PGA Championship takes Softspikes’ 2024 Tour win tally to 20 in 22 events along with a clean sweep at the two Majors. Nine of the players finishing tied 8th or better put their trust in Softspikes as they competed over the undulating fairways of Valhalla Golf Club. In total, 26 of the top 34 finishers chose to wear spikes over a spikeless alternative.
“Sunday at The PGA Championship was a thrilling spectacle, and we were delighted to see the winner, leading from start to finish wearing Softspikes, secure a richly deserved first Major against one of the strongest fields of the year,” 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.
