U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley won 11 skins, nine of them on two holes, and won the Skins Game with $2.1 million in the return of the competition after 17 years.<\/p>\n

Bradley made a 7-foot putt on hole no 13 at Panther National to win $900,000 because money from the previous three holes had carried over.<\/p>\n

Bradley’s first win was worth five skins on the first hole when no one won the opening four holes.<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood won the final hole that was worth three skins with carryovers and because money increased toward the end of the 16-hole competition, Fleetwood picked up $1,125,000.<\/p>\n

That was the largest skin payoff, inevitable considering the entire purse was only $1 million when the Skins Game was last held in 2008.<\/p>\n

Skin Game Rules:<\/p>\n

The player with the most amount of money at the end wins.<\/p>\n

A hole is won by the player with the lowest number of strokes on a given hole. <\/p>\n

The winner of the hole is awarded the hole value plus any carryover money and skins.<\/p>\n

If two or more players tie on a given hole, the Skin and hole value in money are carried over and added to the next hole. <\/p>\n

Skins Game: Hole Values:<\/p>\n

Holes 1-5:
\n $100,000 <\/p>\n

Holes 6-9:
\n $200,000 <\/p>\n

Hole 14:
\n $400,000 <\/p>\n

Hole 15:
\n $500,000<\/p>\n

Hole 16:
\n $600,000<\/p>\n

Fleetwood finished at $1.7 million to finish second. Shane Lowry, who filled in for the injured Justin Thomas, won one skin and finished with $200,000. Xander Schauffele was shut out.<\/p>\n

There were a few tweaks this time. It was held over 16 holes on Friday morning, instead of 18 holes over two days during Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, while each player started with $1 million, they had money deducted when someone else won skins.<\/p>\n
