![]() Though he's a Masters champion and has 34 victories worldwide, Couples is uncannily successful in the Skins Game. In 13 appearances, he's won five times and holds the records for most skins (86) and most money ($3.9 million). Joining Couples (left) are defending champion Stephen Ames, Masters champion Zach Johnson and Brett Wetterich, one of the longest hitters on tour. "This field has something to offer both the devoted golf fan and the casual golf fan, and the vistas and challenges of the Celebrity Course simply add to the allure of our 25th LG Skins Game," said Barry Frank, vice chairman of IMG Media, which owns the event. Johnson and Wetterich will be making their Skins Game debut, as will the course: the par-72, 7,008-yard Celebrity Course, which opened for public play last November. The LG Skins Game will be broadcast Thanksgiving weekend on ABC. Nine holes will air on Saturday and nine will be shown on Sunday. Tickets can be purchased in advance at indianwells.com or at Indian Wells City Hall. Tickets also will be available at the gate. For more information, visit lgskinsgame.com. SG |
