Skins Game: Player Profiles, 2025 Results, Key Stats, and More

On Black Friday, The Skins Game returns. The series that’s seen names like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Fred Couples, and Payne Stewart is back on November 28 at Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Justin Thomas, who co-designed this track with Nicklaus, was originally one of the four players slated to tee it up but was forced to withdraw after undergoing a microdiscectomy. Instead, Shane Lowry joins Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, and Keegan Bradley.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Ryder Cup trash talk will be flying all day long.

Before the fun begins, let's walk through each player’s 2025 season and some stats that might help them win some skins. In this format, birdies and rolling it well are the keys to success.

Let's jump into it.

Xander Schauffele

Schauffele had a tough year…by his standards. He fought back from a rib injury that kept him sidelined until the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, and finally won in his last start over in Japan. The World No. 3 isn’t just one of the funniest guys on TOUR; he’s a great shit talker. Don’t believe me? Go watch his video with Bob Does Sports. I hope we see that side of him next week.

World Ranking: 3rd

PGA TOUR Starts in 2025: 16

Top-25 Finishes: 10

Top-10 Finishes: 4

Wins: 1 (Baycurrent Classic)

Birdie Average: 78th (3.92)

Strokes Gained: Putting: 135th (-0.184)

Tommy Fleetwood

What an unreal year for the Englishman. After a few close calls at the Travelers Championship and in Memphis, Fleetwood finally got his first win in the States at the TOUR Championship. I’d say that’s a pretty good first winner’s check. And after a stellar showing at the Ryder Cup, he won over in India on the DP World Tour. This man is going to be a problem at Panther National.

World Ranking: 4th

PGA TOUR Starts in 2025: 19

Top-25 Finishes: 15

Top-10 Finishes: 8

Wins: 2 (TOUR Championship, DP World India Championship)

Birdie Average: 27th (4.16)

Strokes Gained: Putting: 20th (0.404)

Keegan Bradley

We haven’t seen much of Bradley since his team lost on home soil at Bethpage Black, but the 39-year-old had a nice year on the golf course. He grabbed six top-10 finishes and won the Travelers Championship for the second time in three years. For a fiery guy, this is a great opportunity for him to get some revenge.

World Ranking: 14th

PGA TOUR Starts in 2025: 21

Top-25 Finishes: 11

Top-10 Finishes: 6

Wins: 1 (Travelers Championship)

Birdie Average: 104th (3.83)

Strokes Gained: Putting: 112th (-0.056)

Shane Lowry

He might be a replacement, but I can’t wait to see Lowry in this kind of event. He’s electric on the golf course, and this time he’s going to be wearing a mic. He’s the only player who hasn’t won this year, so maybe he can put a Skins Game title on his resume.

World Ranking: 26th

PGA TOUR Starts in 2025: 20

Top-25 Finishes: 12

Top-10 Finishes: 4

Wins: 0
