You remember the Skins Game, right? It's that goofy 18-hole event around Thanksgiving that gives golfers a chance to win holes for lots of dough.
The fields used to be amazing. Names like Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Greg Norman and Fred Couples have snagged the most skins over the 25 years of the event and it was always a fun thing to watch.
Well, until last year, when the field consisted of Stephen Ames, Fred Couples, Zach Johnson and Brett Wetterich. I know, even reading those names gets the heart a-pumping.
I guess the LG Skins Game people decided that having a foreign guy most people don't know of, a washed up former champion, the Masters champion that's most exciting feature is his occasional pink shirt and Brett Wetterich wasn't exactly stealing ratings from football.
They've decided on four people that aren't exactly Snoozaplosa. Rocco Mediate, Phil Mickelson, defending champion Ames (ok, not perfect) and possibly Anthony Kim will be around for this year's event.
Hey, anything is better than watching Fred Funk smash the ball out there 260.
