The $1 million 2007 LG Skins Game, a Thanksgiving weekend tradition, will be produced by ESPN and broadcast on ABC Saturday, Nov. 24 and Sunday, Nov. 25 (check local listings).
The 25-year history of the famous Skins Game began in 1983 when the popular two-day event was played at the Desert Highlands in Scottsdale, Ariz. The event eventually migrated to California, where it has become a permanent fixture in the Coachella Valley. The list of participants in the LG Skins Game is a virtual who's who in the greats of golf - Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Tom Watson, Lee Trevino - the list goes on.
The lineup at this year's game reads similarly. "You have one of the hottest up-and-coming golfers in Zach Johnson, who everyone saw hold off Tiger Woods in the Masters; a member of last year's Ryder Cup, Brett Wetterich, whose powerful long drives are fun to watch; our defending champion, Stephen Ames; and the most successful player in Skins Game history - Fred Couples," said Barry Frank, vice chairman of IMG Media.
