Koepka, Thomas, Clark and Koivun named for $4 million Skins Game
Jackson Koivun, unbeaten for the United States at the Presidents Cup, joins three major champions in a Black Friday match with no starting stake.
Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Jackson Koivun will play the Skins Game for a $4 million purse at Atlantic Fields Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, on 27 November, Prime Video announced on Tuesday. Unlike last year, when each player began with $1 million, all four start on zero, Golf Monthly reported.
Every hole is worth a set sum, and when a hole is tied its money rolls on to the next. The event returned last November after 17 years away, and Keegan Bradley won 11 skins and $2.1 million at Panther National against Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry.
Thomas, Clark and Koivun played for the United States at the Presidents Cup at Medinah last month. Koivun, the 21-year-old rookie, partnered Thomas in the four-balls and was the only American not to lose a match. He has also just signed for Motor City Golf Club, the TGL team Koepka leads. Thomas worked on last year’s Skins Game broadcast as a guest analyst. Koepka has just completed his first season back on the PGA TOUR after leaving LIV Golf.
Atlantic Fields is a private, 1,500-acre Discovery Land Company development with a par-72 course by Tom Fazio. Farmers Insurance is this year’s title sponsor. Coverage starts at 9am Eastern (14:00 GMT) on Prime Video and does not require a subscription. Andrew Catalon hosts, Colt Knost is the on-course analyst and Dan Rapaport adds commentary.
