The golf spike removal tool includes a primary shank with opposite proximal and distal ends. A handle is secured to the proximal end of the primary shank and projections extend from the distal end of the primary shank for engaging apertures in a golf spike. A supplemental shank is telescoped relative to the primary shank and can be releasably engaged in either a first position or a second position with respect to the primary shank. The supplemental shank includes an array of sharply pointed teeth at the distal end thereof. The teeth project distally beyond the primary shank when the supplemental shank is in the distal position.
