What is the Skins format?
- The lowest score for each hole wins that hole and the money that hole is worth.
- In the result of a tied hole, the “skin” carries over to the next hole and continues to do so until won by one of the four players.
- In the result of a tied 18th hole, a playoff will take place to see who wins the final skin.
- The value of the 18th hole will not multiply if a playoff takes place.
The value of each skin.
- Holes 1-6: $10,000 per skin
- Holes 7-12: $15,000 per skin
- Holes 13-17: $20,000 per skin
- Hole 18: $100,000 super skin
