00:00Trash talk, turkeys and $1 million on the line. Skins game is back.
00:06After 17 years, the Skins game returns this Black Friday, bringing star power, chaos and laughs to Panther National in South Florida.
00:15Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Xander Shoffley and Keegan Bradley will face off in the Skins game, where golf meets trash talk.
00:23Lowry teased Ryder Cup wounds, and Bradley fired back humorously, capturing the banter and charisma that have long made the event a Thanksgiving tradition.
00:33Panther National, co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas, adds prestige to the Skins game.
00:38Though Thomas won't compete due to back surgery, his influence remains, leaving Shoffley struggling to adjust his trash talk material.
00:47I actually had so much material against JT, Shoffley said. I feel like I've been undressed during this.
00:52What elevates this year's addition beyond mere nostalgia is the format tweak.
00:57Each player begins with $1 million. Instead of winning a pot, they're defending one.
01:03Hole by hole, the cash can grow or vanish.
01:06Think traditional Skins, but with an upside-down purse and a sprinkle of financial suspense.
01:11The stakes are high, the format is fresh, and the potential for chaos is delicious.
01:16And then, there's the dark horse, Fleetwood, known for his chill demeanor and near-pathological likability.
01:24But underestimate him at your own risk. Bradley knows better.
01:28For Bradley, the Skins game evokes childhood memories of watching legends like Nicholas Trevino and Couples, giving him a chance to join that tradition.
01:37Lowry adds European flair by cooking Thanksgiving dinner for Fleetwood, leaving Shoffley mildly offended and hungry for an invite.
01:44I never got that invite, he quipped.
01:48Between mashed potatoes and missed putts, the Skins game returns as a stage for top players, bold personalities, and major bragging rights.
