The Skins Game Returns to Golf After 17 Years
The exciting Skins Game returns to the golf calendar, promising an event full of competition and spectacle. After a 17-year absence, this iconic tournament returns with new features that will capture the attention of fans. The event will be held the Friday after Thanksgiving and will feature prominent golfers. Among the participants are world-renowned figures such as Tommy Fleetwood, FedEx Cup champion; Keegan Bradley, captain of the American Ryder Cup team; Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele.
What’s New in the Skins Game
One of the main novelties is the change of venue, moving from the California desert to Florida. In addition, the television broadcast also presents a significant change, as the tournament will be broadcast via Prime Video. The tournament will take place at Panther National, a new golf course in Florida, designed by Thomas and Jack Nicklaus. The choice of this course offers a fresh and challenging setting for golfers. The Skins Game, which debuted in 1983, had its last edition in 2008, with K.J. Choi as the winner. The game format remains the same, where each hole won grants a sum of money, which accumulates in case of a tie. The innovation lies in an “inverse pot”, in which each player starts with a million dollars, and their winnings or losses depend on each hole played. The event coverage will begin at 9 a.m., marking the start of a Black Friday with a stellar schedule on Prime Video.This golf event is the second to be broadcast on Prime Video, which announced last month the broadcast of an additional two hours of daily coverage at the Masters.
