We’re less than a month away from the return of The Skins Game!
On Black Friday (November 28), Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele, and Keegan Bradley will go to battle at Panther National, a golf course designed by Thomas and Jack Nicklaus, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. You’ll be able to stream all the action on Prime Video.
The first Skins Game was played in 1983, and it sported one of the best foursomes of all time: Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Tom Watson. The most recent edition was played in 2008, and ever since the golf world has missed one of the most cherished post-Thanksgiving tradition in the sports.
