PGA Tour stars confirmed for latest edition of the Skins Game

The Farmers Insurance Skins Game will return to Prime Video on 27 November, with Wyndham Clark, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivun set to compete for a $4m purse at Atlantic Fields Club in Hobe Sound, Florida.

The event, which was revived in 2025 after a 17-year absence, will begin at 09:00 ET (14:00 GMT) and be available to viewers worldwide without requiring a Prime membership or subscription.

The tournament will form part of Prime Video's Black Friday sports coverage, which will feature more than 15 consecutive hours of live action, including the fourth annual Black Friday Football game and an NBA doubleheader.

Clark, Koepka and Thomas have won a combined 31 PGA Tour titles and nine major championships. 

Koivun, a Tour rookie, arrives after winning the 3M Open in his third career start and securing the decisive point for the United States at the Presidents Cup.

Clark's recent achievements include victories at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the US Open and the BMW Championship. 

Koepka returns following his first season back on the PGA Tour after leaving LIV Golf, while Thomas will make his debut as a player in the Skins Game after working as a guest analyst for last year's event.

Pro Shop Studios and Propagate Content will again develop and produce the tournament, with PGA Tour Studios handling broadcast production and Excel Sports Management serving as tournament organiser.

"The response to last year's relaunch showed us how much The Skins Game still resonates with golf fans, while also proving there's an opportunity to keep making it feel fresh for a new generation," said Chad Mumm, co-founder and president of Pro Shop.

Ben Silverman, chairman and co-chief executive of Propagate Content, said the tournament's hole-by-hole format and new venue would provide a fresh setting for the competition.

The event was first held in 1983 and became a fixture of the holiday-weekend television schedule, featuring some of golf's biggest names, including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Fred Couples and Tiger Woods.

The competition returned in 2025, when Keegan Bradley beat Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry at Panther National. Bradley won 11 skins and $2.1m in the opening event of Prime Video's Black Friday sports coverage.

The 2026 edition will retain the traditional Skins Game format, in which each hole carries a monetary value and tied holes see the prize roll over to the next hole, increasing the stakes. 

Players will start with no money, with winnings accumulating as the match progresses.

Andrew Catalon will return as host, with Colt Knost as on-course analyst. Dan Rapaport will also provide live commentary from the course. 

All three are returning to their respective roles as part of the broadcast team, with Catalon and Knost members of CBS Sports' golf coverage.

The tournament will move to Atlantic Fields Club, a private 1,500-acre development by Discovery Land Company. 

The venue features an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Tom Fazio, with interconnected lakes and canals and elevation changes inspired by the surrounding Florida landscape.

Luis Goicouria, executive vice-president of PGA Tour Studios, said the production team was looking forward to presenting a new group of players at a new venue as it continued to develop the tournament's broadcast and storytelling.

Farmers Insurance will serve as title sponsor for the 2026 event, continuing its partnership with the tournament as it seeks to connect with customers and communities through live sporting events.

Charlie Neiman, Prime Video's head of sports partnerships, said the broadcaster was looking forward to building on the response to last year's revival as part of its expanded Black Friday schedule.
