The PGA TOUR has confirmed that top stars from the circuit will compete in the highly anticipated return of the Skins Game, marking its comeback after a 17-year hiatus.
Produced by Pro Shop and Propagate Content in collaboration with PGA TOUR Studios, the event will be making a return on Black Friday with a star-studded field featuring 16-time PGA TOUR winner Justin Thomas, World No. 4 Xander Schauffele, 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley and reigning FedExCup champion Tommy Fleetwood.
The Skins Game will be hosted at Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, South Florida and will be broadcast exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
“We’ve taken up the mantle to bring back ‘The Skins Game,’ and we’re proud to work alongside PGA TOUR Studios, Prime Video and Propagate Content to reintroduce this iconic event and reclaim its rightful place on the sports calendar,” said Chad Mumm, co-founder and president of Pro Shop. “By keeping the traditional format intact and adding some creative twists, we’re giving fans an experience that honors the past while delivering pure, high-stakes competition where the pressure builds with every shot.”
The format of the Skins Game sees each hole given a monetary value with tied holes rolling over, increasing the high stakes. However, an additional twist will be introduced known as the “reverse purse” which will see every player begin the event with $1 million on the scoreboard, a value that will either increase or decrease based on their performances hole-by-hole.
The very first edition of the Skins Game took place in 1983 and saw the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Gary Player participate. The event, the last iteration of which was in 2008, was a staple on the golfing calendar and always saw some of the sport’s biggest stars showcase their skills in a high-stakes environment.
