The fun money game of golf is getting another shot at Black Friday glory, and this year’s lineup brings some serious star power.
2026 Farmers Insurance Skins Game returns Nov. 27 with Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and rising star Jackson Koivun competing for the $4 million purse at the Atlantic Plains Club in Florida.

The contest begins at 9 a.m. Eastern on Prime Video, when fans can watch the show for free without an Amazon Prime membership.
For golf fans who remember watching legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Freddie Williams and Tiger Woods battle it out for individual holes, the continued update of the event should be welcome news.
And this year’s format brings back the familiar approach.

That means one catch birdie can deliver a huge payday.
The most ambitious partner could be Koivun, whose outstanding rookie season turned him into one of golf’s hottest young players.
The 18-year-old former Auburn standout joins the PGA Tour in June and has wasted little time in making the features. 3M Opened in July for long-time world No. 1 took Scottie Scheffler, before he won the election of a leader for the President of the United States of America.
Koivun went undefeated 2-0-1 in American competition, including a singles victory over Si Woo Kim.
Now the three established stars will be in a completely different environment.

Koepka has five major championships and a strong reputation. Thomas owns two PGA Championship titles, including the 2013 US Clark Open.
The combination promises plenty of fire power and a competitive personality.
Last year’s renewal ended a 17-year absence, with Keegan Bradley collecting 11 skins and $2.1 million against Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry in the National Panthers.
Now the organizers hope that they can build a completely new field and other venues at that moment.
Luis Goicouria, executive president of PGA Tour Studios, said the event provides another opportunity to present the championship on “one of the biggest days in sports history.”

Andrew Catalon and Colt Knost return to cast, while Dan Rapaport provides additional background commentary.
The tournament also hosts a Prime Video Black Friday sports marathon, which includes NFL games and an NBA doubleheader.
But the real attraction is simple.

Four elite golfers. Millions of dollars are available. But the possibility of that memorable shot changes everything.
That’s what made the original Skins Game so compelling, and that’s exactly what the creators hope brings viewers back.
