BACK-TO-BACK MAJORS FOR CLEATED FOOTWEAR WITH PGA SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP WIN

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., May 27, 2019 – One week after being worn by the world’s number one player in his PGA Championship victory, cleated footwear went back-to-back in major titles with the winner of the Senior PGA Championship wearing FootJoy® Fury featuring Softspikes® Pulsar golf cleats.

“Oak Hill Country Club played tough this weekend and it was a battle of attrition,” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports®. “As usual, a player wearing footwear with replaceable cleated technology came out on top. It was certainly nice to see cleated footwear win on consecutive weeks in major events.”

In addition to the Senior PGA Championship, cleated footwear was also worn by the winners on other professional tours:

  • LPGA Tour’s Pure Silk Championship – FootJoy Dryjoy Boa with Pulsar cleats
  • Web.com’s Evans Scholars Invitational – Nike® Vapor React with Softspikes Black Widow cleats

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.
