Keegan Bradley runs away with 'The Skins Game' title, takes home $2.1M

Keegan Bradley was the winner of the first Skins Game in 17 years on Friday at Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain and eight-time PGA Tour winner, took home $2.1 million with 11 skins during the event that saw him beat out Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry. (Justin Thomas was originally scheduled to take part, but back surgery opened the door for Lowry to take his place.)

As with previous editions of the Skins Game, the banter between the mic'd up players was a highlight of the day. While a decent amount of money was at stake, the event is a low-pressure environment, which allows for good-natured trash talk. That's what Bradley found out as Lowry reminded him of Europe's win at September's Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Lowry later continued enjoying the day by nearly chipping in. He still took the skin for $150,000 and finished with $200,000 at competition's end.

But it was Bradley who would get the last laugh after two of his putts earned him $1.275 million of his total takeaway, including a $900,000 prize on the 12th hole.

Tweaked format, richer prize

The event format saw each hole worth one skin and a dollar amount. If one player won a hole, they claimed a skin. If two or more players tied a hole, the skin carried to the next hole. The carry over continued until a hole was won outright.

Holes 1-5 were worth $100,000; holes 6-9 $200,000; holes 10-13 $300,000; and the final three holes were worth $400,000, $500,000 and $600,000, respectively.

For this incarnation of the event, each player began with $1 million and that total rose and fell as skins were won.

The Skins Game was an annual tradition from 1983 to 2008, taking place after the PGA Tour season.
