Softspikes Dominates 2025 Season from the Ground Up

More wins. More majors. More trust. No other brand helped golfers
achieve more in 2025.

Brentwood, Tenn. –

As another season of elite golf draws to a close, one thing stands out. In 2025, Softspikes didn’t just support players. It powered them week after week, from early-season openers to the final putt of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. No other brand in golf played a bigger role in player success this year. When you look at who won, how they won, and what they wore, one thing stands out: Softspikes were the common denominator.

Across the PGA TOUR, 36 of the 40 tournaments were won by players wearing replaceable spikes. From breakthrough victories to legacy-defining performances, traction played a critical role in delivering confidence from the ground up. The overwhelming majority of these winners, along with the top finishers week after week, chose Softspikes, with Tour Flex Pro once again leading the way as the most trusted model on Tour.

Nowhere was the story of the season told more emphatically than at the Majors. Each of the four champions in 2025 wore Tour Flex Pro, trusting its precision and stability to master the game’s most exacting tests. And as the curtain fell on the campaign at the Tour Championship, it was once again a Softspikes wearer who held their nerve delivering a composed, long-overdue breakthrough to claim both the title and the FedEx Cup.

“Traction is one of the most underappreciated elements of a player’s setup,” said Joe Henderson, President of Softspikes. “But it plays a huge role in how confidently and consistently a player can move through the swing. We’re proud to deliver the kind of dependable traction that players trust week after week, especially when everything is on the line.”

It wasn’t just about winning; it was about consistency. Each week, across every surface and in every condition, Softspikes delivered the kind of performance players depend on. In some events, over 90% of the field chose to wear replaceable spikes rather than rely on spikeless tennis style shoes. Increasingly, players are customizing their setups with different spike models to suit course conditions and swing characteristics whether that’s the versatility of Pulsar, the aggressive grip of Metal Stinger, or the all-round stability of Tour Flex Pro.

Around the world, Softspikes continued to dominate across the LPGA Tour, DP World Tour, and Korn Ferry Tour showing that this isn’t just a PGA TOUR story. It’s a global movement driven by players who understand the connection between ground contact and shot execution. With more top-10s, more Sunday charges, and more breakthrough wins, spikes proved their place at the heart of modern performance.

“We’re incredibly proud to see our spikes trusted by the world’s best players,” Henderson added. “ From rookies trying to keep their cards to Major champions chasing history. That trust is earned one round at a time, and it’s something we never take for granted.”

As the 2025 season closes, Softspikes heads into 2026 with a simple, undeniable truth: no other brand helped golfers achieve more. In an era of performance where every edge matters, the foundation of success still begins from the ground up.

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.
