LG Skins Game 2009

The 26th annual LG Skins Game this Thanksgiving weekend was to be held in the beautiful region of Indian Wells, California.  And just like every year, it is an event that golf fans do not want to miss out on. Unfortunately the Skins Game was canceled in 2009.

LG, which is one of the world's leading electronics companies, would have been the title sponsor in this one million dollar purse.  With this large purse, it is one of the richest two-day events in the history of golf.  Some of the greatest golfers of all-time have made their presence heard at this event including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.

As mentioned, this year's event was supposed be held at Indian Wells Golf Resort in California.  The John Fought designed players course is a par-72 18-hole championship golf course.  This is the second of the two new golf courses that was built at the Indian Wells Golf Resort. 

The newest of the two courses offers wide playing corridors, well-sculpted bunkers and the traditional rectangular tee boxes.  It is guaranteed to challenge the finest of golfers while offering a great reward at the end of the day.

Normally prior to watching the pros tear up the course would be open to the public to play on.  This gives the public the opportunity to see just how much of a challenge the pros are in for.  Instead of scrutinizing the best in the game all weekend, you can see just what they experience with a lot at stake.

The four-some that was set to put on a show for entertainment this year would have included two-time defending champion Stephen Ames, three-time major champion Phil Mickelson, five-time PGA tour winner K.J. Choi, and U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate.  All of them would have be competing for the one million dollar LG Skins Game purse airing on ABC for the 18th consecutive year.

Every year when Thanksgiving weekend rolls around, golf fans tune in for some world-class entertainment on the links of Indian Wells Country Club Golf Resort in California.  It really is a weekend where everyone can kick back and relax.  Make yourself a turkey sandwich with some potatoes and stuffing on the side while watching quality golf.

Although it is not a golf championship event, it is still guaranteed to satisfy the casual golf fan.  Some of the finest golf pros in the world face off head-to head in a four-some battle you do not want to miss.  Lets hope this great event comes back to the Indian Wells Country Club soon.
