We'll make it fun and interactive, but we'll help these guys be fun and interactive. We're not going to rely on each player to tell their story. Now they have 'The Match' which, as I understand it. I also recall that I enjoyed watching it quite a bit. As I recall (and my rememberer may be defective) there was a prize of 25,000 or 50,000 a hole in an invited 4 person match play tournament. ''I'm super excited about the production. I used to watch 'The Skins Game' back in the day.

''We want to continue doing things like this, presenting golf in new and interesting ways,'' Kaplan said. Kaplan said more specialty events on GOLFTV are likely. Japan is in the middle of a three-week Asia swing, with South Korea at the front end and the HSBC Champions in Shanghai as the anchor. The Japan Skins is at the front end of the ZoZo Championship, the first official PGA Tour event in Japan, with a field expected to include Woods, McIlroy, Matsuyama, Day, Justin Thomas and possibly Jordan Spieth. It starts what figures to be a big week in golf-crazed Japan. Kaplan said the Japan Skins will be produced in Japanese and English. Still to be revealed are the announcing crews.

Total prize money is $350,000 - $10,000 per skin for the opening six holes, $20,000 for the next six holes, $20,000 through the 17th hole, and $100,000 for the 18th. Players need to win a hole outright, or it carries over to the next hole.
The other fun thing about skins is how you find yourself rooting for the other guys if you're not in a position to win the hole.'' I love the way it rewards attacking play and think it suits my game quite well.
''And I'm a huge fan of the skins format. ''Playing with Hideki on his home turf, Tiger coming back to Japan with a green jacket, the motivation is certainly there for me,'' McIlroy said. McIlroy, who has a similar partnership as Woods with NBC Sports Group, was intrigued by the format and the field. Because of limited October daylight, he said lights would be erected on the last few holes if needed. Kaplan said some 3,000 fans are expected on the course, many of them as guests, others allowed to buy tickets. If the hole is halved, then that Skin is. The lunch hour does that, particularly for streaming.'' Skins is quite simply a golf game whereby players compete for a prize on every hole, with the prize being a Skin. We had to make sure we had it at a meaningful time. We could have started in the morning, but Japan and Asia are important markets for Discovery. It's where you drive the most viewership, and then you look at when the sun goes down. ''You map out where the key markets are and what's possible on the course and do your best possible. If there is no outright winner of hole two, each Skin gets moved forward to the third hole at its original value.''There's not a perfect time,'' Kaplan said. However, if Mark wins the second hole, they get two Skins worth £1 each and John gets nothing because he lost the Skin he won on the first hole. In simple terms, if John wins the first hole with a cash value of £1 and decides to back it up, then they would be playing for Skins worth £2 each on hole two.
If another player wins the hole, they just win the original value of the two holes. If you do that, the next Skin is worth double if you win it, whilst the Skin you had won but laid on the next hole, is also worth double if you win it. There are other variations of the game, such as Back It Up Skins, where instead of pocketing the prize, you can "back it up". The rules for sudden death are slightly different in that an outright win still wins the Skins, but if there is a tie for the lowest score, then only those who have tied for the win continue on to the next hole as players. If there are Skins that have not been won on the 18th green then the game goes into sudden death. There is reward for going low little penalty for going high. The Skins game is reckoned to favour attacking play for this reason.
