How To Watch The Skins Game: Streaming Details as Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Xander Schauffele, Keegan Bradley Compete On Black Friday

Four of the world’s top golfers – Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Xander Schauffele and Keegan Bradley – will take part in The Skins Game on Black Friday, November 28.

This is a revival of a popular competition that ran from 1983 to 2008. Skins is a golf format that requires and rewards bold, attacking play and used to attract huge television audiences over the Thanksgiving period.

The first Skins Game was held at Desert Highlands in Scottsdale, Arizona, with Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player. Tiger Woods played in several editions of it, but never won it.

In a skins golf game, each hole is worth a sum of prize money and each of the four golfers play together and if one of them wins the hole outright they win this sum, known as a skin. (This name comes from the leather pouches money used traditionally to be held in.)

But if two or more of them tie with the lowest score, no-one wins, and the money is rolled into the prize money for the next hole, and all four golfers are still eligible to win it.

Thus it rewards the risk-taker, and bold attacking golf. Someone who makes par on all 18 holes is not likely to win anything. Someone who mixes a string of bogeys and double bogeys with the occasional eagle, will.

This year’s event will be played at Panther National in South Florida, a course co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas.

In this guide Golf Monthly brings you all the details on how to watch The Skins Game online from anywhere in the world.
