Softspikes walked away with a clean sweep of the four men’s major championships in 2024 following Xander Schaffer’s victory in the Open Championship.
The winner wore the brand’s PINS ThinTech spikes in his adidas Tour 360 shoes en route to winning the Claret Jug and a second Major title of the year following his win at the PGA Championship.
In being crowned Champion Golfer of the Year, Schauffele becomes the 27th PGA Tour winner to do so wearing Softspikes in the last 31 PGA Tour events. In addition, 80% of the field at Royal Troon wore Softspikes as they competed over the extremely challenging Ayrshire layout.
Joe Henderson, President of Softspikes, said: “The final round at The Open was an absolutely thrilling spectacle and we are delighted that the winner put on such an incredible performance, wearing replaceable spikes, to not only capture his second Major, but also round out a clean sweep of this year’s Majors by players choosing to compete in 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.
