BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 28, 2010 … Softspikes®, the world’s leading golf cleat brand and maker of the #1 Cleat on TOUR, captured the Company’s 54th Major victory this past weekend as the winner of the LPGA Championship presented by Wegmans donned BLACK WIDOW®, golf’s best selling cleat of all-time.
Additionally, golf’s hottest new cleat, BLACK WIDOW® TOUR™, captured a victory at the Nationwide Tour’s Mexico Open Bicentenary, while 14 of the top 19 finishers wore Softspikes. Further rounding out another great weekend in professional golf, Softspikes dominated the leaderboard at the PGA TOUR’s Traveler’s Championship, as 7 of the top 10 plastic cleat wearers donned Softspikes, along with 73% of the plastic cleat field.
