WINNERS ON PGA AND LPGA TOURS RELY ON CLEATED FOOTWEAR
The top players in golf continue to rely on cleated footwear to carry them to victory. This past weekend was no exception with the winners of the PGA TOUR’s Shriners Hospital for Children Open and the LPGA’s Toto Japan Classic both sporting footwear with replaceable cleat technology.
“Week in and week out, the best players in golf are choosing to wear golf shoes with cleats,” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports. “We see the same thing at golf courses across America. No matter the age or handicap level, recreational golfers recognize that cleated footwear provides the traction they need to perform at their best.”
In addition to the number seven player in the Official World Golf Rankings wearing them in victory in the Shriners Hospital for Children Open, 32 of the top 36 finishers in Las Vegas chose replaceable cleat technology over spikeless/tennis shoes.
