PrideSports’ Replaceable Spikes and Performance Tees Used by Winner of Arnold Palmer Invitational
Posted on May 21 2021
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., March 9, 2021 – The MacNeill Pride Group confirms the winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard relied on the Champ® Pro-Stringer model in his Puma shoes, as well as trusting Pride’s Professional Tee System™ (PTS) Titanium Strength™ tees to average nearly 324 yards in driving distance throughout the week at Bay Hill Club & Lodge.
Capturing his eighth PGA TOUR title, the 27-year-old overpowered the course, finishing first in the statistical categories of Strokes Gained off-the-tee, as well as total driving distance. He trusted the Pro-Stinger’s unique blend of plastic and metal to maintain optimal turf traction during his powerful swing. His preferred golf tees were the 3¼ inch model in the Professional Tee System™ (PTS) Titanium Strength™ line-up, which is a traditional wooden option featuring a thicker shank for improved durability and longer lifespan.
“The champion is among the most exciting young superstars on Tour, and our cleats give him the confidence to be extremely aggressive off the tee without the fear of losing traction during his swing,” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports/MacNeill-Pride Group.
