New location in Maui for Senior Skins
Senior PGA Tour: MAUI, Hawaii (Jan. 26) -- Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and defending champion Gary Player -- 75 percent of the original Skins Game participants -- join Hale Irwin for this year's Senior Skins event.
The four Hall of Famers will be competing for a $600,000 purse in the 14th annual Senior Skins Game, a two-day, 18-hole event which begins Saturday at Wailea Golf Club's Gold Course and comes a week after the tour's season-opening tournament.
"The Senior Skins Game has always been one of the Senior PGA Tour's most attractive events," PGA Commissioner Tim Finchem said. "The participants' enjoyment is very evident and Arnold, Gary, Hale and Jack will be no exception."
Nicklaus, Palmer and Player joined fellow Senior Tour member and Hall of Famer Tom Watson for the original Skins Game in 1983, an unofficial PGA Tour event which spawned the Seniors version five years later.
This year's group represents four of the top six in Senior Skins earnings, led by Palmer, whose $1.045 million is second all-time to Raymond Floyd.
Only 11 golfers have competed in the event.
