CHAMP has produced more major champions than any other brand - MARLBOROUGH, MA — Since 1947 when CHAMP introduced the world’s first locking golf spike, CHAMP spikes have been on the shoes of more major championship winners than any other brand.

Overall at The Masters, according to the Darrell Survey, 11 golfers wore CHAMP soft golf spikes, with six wearing CHAMP Stinger™ spikes and four wearing CHAMP ScorpionSpikes™. In addition, according to CHAMP’s Tour representative, 31 golfers wore CHAMP 6mm Cer-Mec spikes, bringing CHAMP’s overall spike count at The Masters to 42, or 45 percent of the field.

In 2003, CHAMP golf spikes visited the winner’s circle 49 times on the PGA, LPGA and Nationwide tours. CHAMP posted 21 victories on the PGA Tour, 19 on the LPGA Tour and nine on the Nationwide Tour. And of those 49 total wins, 28 were with CHAMP soft golf spikes, with CHAMP ScorpionSpikes™ leading the way with 26 of those victories.
