Keegan Bradley won 11 skins worth $2.1 million in the skin game return

Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley won 11 skins, including nine on two holes, and won the $2.1 million skins game in his return to competition after 17 years on Friday.

Bradley made a seven-foot putt on No. 13 at Panther National to win $900,000 after missing the money on the previous three holes. Bradley’s first win was worth five coins on the first hole while no one won the opening four holes.

Tommy Fleetwood won the final hole with three skins worth. And because the money increased at the end of the 16-hole competition, Fleetwood took $1,125,000. It was the largest skin payout, not surprising considering the entire purse was only $1 million when the skin game was last held in 2008.

Fleetwood finished second at $1.7 million. Shane Lowry, who filled in for the injured Justin Thomas, won a skin and ended up with $200,000. Xander Schauffele was shut down.

There were some tips this time too. It was held on 16 holes on Friday morning, instead of 18 holes over two days over the Thanksgiving weekend. And while each player started with $1 million, their money was deducted when someone else won a coin.
