Brentwood, TN. – Wearing replaceable spikes in his adidas golf shoes, the winner of The Truist Championship captured his first Signature event and 2nd PGA Tour win of the season in a tense finale at The Philadelphia Cricket Club.
His win marks the 20th time in the last 22 PGA Tour events that players wearing spikes in their golf shoes have claimed the win. In addition, 29 of the top 33 finishers at The Truist Championship chose to compete wearing spikes instead of a spikeless alternative.
On the LPGA Tour, the winner of the Mizuho Americas Open competed in a combo of Tour Flex Pro & Silver Tornado spikes in her Nike golf shoes. And, over on the DP World Tour, the winner of the Turkish Airlines Open secured a first tour win wearing spikes in his adidas golf shoes.
“To have had 20 PGA Tour winners plus a Major Champion, and we’re only in May, is quite the statement for the performance advantages that wearing spikes delivers at the highest echelons of the game.” commented Joe Henderson, President, Softspikes.
Tour players change grips and traction regularly based on course conditions, but amateur golfers rarely think about the impact wearing spikes has on consistency and distance. To achieve optimal performance benefits, golfers should be switching up their spikes every 15 rounds.
