Posted on July 22 2021
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 13, 2021 – The MacNeill Pride Group confirms winners of the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic and European Tour’s abrdn Scottish Open relied on the company’s replaceable cleat solutions.
Capturing his fourth PGA TOUR title, the 41-year-old winner of the John Deere Classic relied on the Pro Stinger from CHAMP® in his FootJoy Traditions shoes to fire a final round 64 in wet conditions at TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. Beyond the winner, 24 of the top-33 finishers chose shoes with replaceable spikes over spikeless alternatives.
On the European Tour, the winner of the abrdn Scottish Open captured a playoff victory at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, using the Silver Tornado® from SoftSpikes®.
“Golfers of all abilities can only play their best when they have a stable and solid connection to the ground, and the best in the world trust our spikes to help them ensure optimal traction,” said John Hohman, senior vice president of marketing for PrideSports/MacNeill-Pride Group.
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.
