CHAMP SLIM-Lok Worn by Winner of Valspar Championship

Innovative Zarma Tour Model with Revolutionary SLIM-Lok Fastening System Trusted To Clinch Playoff

(MARLBOROUGH, MA) - CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide – The World Leader in Sport Cleat Technology and maker of innovative CHAMP spikes, high-performance grips, golf tees and accessories – announces the winner of the Valspar Championship relied on its renowned spikes and new SLIM-Lok fastening system at Innisbrook Resort.

Capturing his fourth professional victory, the 21-year-old Texan wore the new Zarma Tour spike, coupled with the revolutionary SLIM-Lok fastening system, in his Armour Vent Golf Shoe from Under Armour. With SLIM-Lok, shoe manufacturers are able to create significantly lighter, stronger and lower-profile designs, allowing golfers to get closer to the turf for improved stability, feel and balance throughout the swing.

“Since moving to SLIM-Lok equipped spikes, this impressive young player enjoyed a successful fall campaign and is off to a great start in 2015 with another world-class victory,” says Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide. “The groundbreaking SLIM-Lok system and Zarma Tour spike are products that we believe will help golfers of every level play their best.”

All SLIM-Lok equipped spikes are compatible with the millions of TRI-Lok and Fast Twist already in the marketplace. This system also greatly simplifies the spike changing process while virtually eliminating the risk of spike loss during rounds. An exclusive CHAMP technology, SLIM-Lok is trusted by scores of leading OEMs – including ECCO, New Balance, Nike, OGIO, TRUE Linkswear and Under Armour.

The #1 Brand on Tour, CHAMP spikes have been used by nearly 75 percent of all major winners over the past 12 years, including the victors at last year’s Masters, Open Championship and PGA Championship.
