Bradley Banks $2.1 Million as Skins Game Returns on Prime Video

The reboot used a reverse‑purse format on Prime Video to produce outsized single‑hole paydays, creating shareable moments.

Overview

  • Keegan Bradley won 11 skins and $2.1 million at Panther National, with Tommy Fleetwood second at $1.7 million, Shane Lowry at $200,000, and Xander Schauffele shut out with a meme‑worthy $0 check.
  • The event revived the Skins Game after 17 years with a 16‑hole, single‑morning setup, mic’d players, carryovers, and a reverse purse that started each golfer at $1 million.
  • Carryovers created huge payouts, including Bradley’s $900,000 birdie and Fleetwood’s record $1.125 million on the final hole.
  • Lowry replaced Justin Thomas, who withdrew for back surgery, and on‑course banter referenced recent Ryder Cup storylines.
  • The exhibition streamed exclusively at 9 a.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video as Black Friday lead‑in programming, with widespread social‑media complaints reporting limited promotion and an early start time and no viewership figures released.
