'Pink on the Links' program to aid cancer research
Advertiser Staff
CHAMP Spikes has launched a "Pink on the Links" program to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research, pledging donations on behalf of players who wear pink spikes on Mother's Day at The Players Championship on the PGA Tour and at the Michelob Ultra Open on the LPGA Tour."This was a perfect opportunity for us to honor mothers everywhere and directly fund research to find a cure for a disease that affects so many women," CHAMP president Harris MacNeill said.
More than a dozen players already were wearing the pink spikes at Sawgrass, including two-time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal, two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, Justin Leonard, Chad Campbell and Corey Pavin.
