The Skins Game returned Friday for the first time since 2008, and while there were big winners, there was one major loser.
Last held in 2008, the event featured four players from September’s Ryder Cup: Keegan Bradley and Xander Schauffele from the United States, and Team Europe’s Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry, the latter of whom clinched retention of the cup on the 18th hole at Bethpage Black.
Bradley was the big winner of the day, taking home $2.1 million, $900,000 of which coming on a birdie on the par-3 12th at Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
That had been the largest prize ever in the Skins Game until Fleetwood racked up $1.25 million three holes later.
Bradley won 11 skins total, nine of them on two holes, while Fleetwood brought home $1.7 million in all.
