Justin Thomas set to play Skins Game with fellow Ryder Cup stars

One of golf's most exciting games is set to make a comeback after 16 long years. The Skins Game will be played on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, with four Ryder Cup stars going head-to-head.

Justin Thomas will play with his fellow Ryder Cup teammate Xander Schauffele, along with their captain, Keegan Bradley. Team Europe's Tommy Fleetwood completes the foursome.

The match will be broadcast at 9:00 AM ET on Amazon Prime Video and his being held by Pro Shop, the production crew behind PGA Tour Studios and Netflix's Full Swing. The iconic Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, will play host to Justin Thomas and his fellow professional golfers next month.

As per Golfweek's report, the highly-anticipated match will stick true to the original rules of Skins, where each hole on the golf course has a monetary value and ties will roll over to make the next hole worth even more. However, there will be a twist.

The report stated that the match in November will feature a 'reverse purse.' Each player will start with $1 million, and that fund will fluctuate depending on how they play the course in comparison to their competitors.

The Skins Game, which was first played by golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Tom Watson in 1983, is all set to make a comeback. The match on Amazon Prime Video will serve as a great buildup to a great day filled with sports.

Following the match between Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Keegan Bradley, and Tommy Fleetwood will be the NFL game between the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles. Two NBA games follow, with the first being between the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks, and the latter with the Los Angeles Lakers taking on the Dallas Mavericks.
