Winners of The Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach and Chitimacha Louisiana Open All Utilized PrideSports? Products, Including Softspikes-Brand Cleats
Brentwood, Tennessee, March 31, 2008 … PrideSports, maker of Softspikes® golf cleats – the world’s best selling cleat brand, and Fast-Twist™ – the #1 insert system on the PGA TOUR, swept this past weekend’s men’s professional golf events, as the winners of the PGA TOUR’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the Champions Tour’s Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach and the Nationwide Tour’s Chitimacha Louisiana Open all wore the Company’s products, including Softspikes-brand cleats.
At the PGA TOUR’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, not only was the winner wearing PrideSports’ products, but 4 out of the top 5 finishers were outfitted in the Company’s products, while over 50% of the field wore Softspikes’ Pulsar ™ cleats – the #1 Cleat on TOUR.
“It was another great weekend on TOUR for PrideSports’ products, including victories and field dominance,” said Joe Zeller, President, PrideSports. “As we head toward the season’s first Major, we believe our product penetration on the combined tours is better than ever.”
Further highlighting PrideSports’ success at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and for the fourteenth consecutive week, the Company’s patented Fast-Twist insert system was featured in more than 85% of the shoes worn by players during a PGA TOUR event. Fast-Twist continues to be the overwhelming choice by golf footwear manufacturers, as 8 out of the top 10 leading companies utilize the revolutionary golf cleat insert system as original equipment, including market leader FootJoy, as well as adidas, Bite, Bridgestone, Callaway, Etonic and Oakley.
PrideSports was formed in January 2003 following Pride Manufacturing Company’s purchase of Softspikes, Inc., and its sister company Trisport, Ltd. of England. This acquisition essentially formed the world’s premier golf accessories company, as Pride and Softspikes are the world’s leading golf tee and golf cleat lines, respectively. Today, PrideSports is the world leader in the design and manufacture of cleats, spikes and receptacles for the entire golf footwear industry.
