On October 8th, 2025, we break down the official return of The Skins Game, the unfortunate relocation of The Sentry from a drought-stricken Kapalua, Robert MacIntyre's major ambitions, and the incredible parity on the LPGA Tour.

• After a sixteen-year hiatus, the beloved Skins Game is officially back. Reimagined for a modern audience, it will air on Black Friday featuring a star-studded foursome competing in a unique "reverse purse" format in Florida.
• The format features Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, and Keegan Bradley each starting with $1 million and playing to keep it.
• The Thanksgiving weekend special will stream on Amazon Prime Video from the new Panther National course, marking a major move into live golf for the platform.

• In unfortunate news, The Sentry is being moved from its iconic Kapalua Plantation course home. A severe drought in Maui has rendered the course unplayable by Tour standards, forcing an unprecedented relocation for the season-opening event.
• The PGA Tour stated it was "impossible to guarantee TOUR standard playing conditions" after social media photos showed the course looking "totally dead."
• This marks a significant disruption for a tournament beloved by players and fans for its stunning Hawaiian vistas and traditional start to the calendar year.

• Scotland's Robert MacIntyre has officially arrived. Following a massive victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, he has vaulted to a career-high number eight in the world rankings and is setting his sights even higher.
• After his win, MacIntyre made his intentions clear: "A major championship is what I need or what I want."
• MacIntyre's coronation as a top-ten player adds another formidable European talent to the highest echelon of the men's game.

• The LPGA Tour is showcasing incredible depth this season, with no multiple winners through twenty-five events. This parity is highlighted by Nelly Korda's injury struggles and the rise of a new, winless World Number One.
• Nelly Korda, who withdrew from the International Crown, noted, "by this time of the year my body is definitely worn down."
• In a testament to her incredible consistency, Jeeno Thitikul has ascended to World Number One without a single victory on the season.

Skins Game returns Nov. 28th • Kapalua drought forces Sentry move • Jeeno Thitikul is the new winless World #1
