Keegan Bradley Gets His Revenge At The 2025 Skins Game

It’s no secret that 2025 Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley has endured a difficult fall season. After the United States’ 13–15 loss to the Europeans at Bethpage Black, he knew exactly what was at stake. “You win, it’s glory for a lifetime. You lose, and you’re going to have to sit with it for the rest of your life,” he admitted. Black Friday offered Bradley a chance to put some of that disappointment behind him and exact a bit of revenge on European heroes Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry. With Xander Schauffele rounding out the foursome, the group played for $4 million at Panther National. Airing on Amazon Prime Video, the world got a chance to see a format that has been dormant since 2008.

Bradley Gets the Lead Early

The first 4 holes were halved, but on the 5th hole, we witnessed the first skin. Keegan Bradley became $375,000 richer (at the time) after a birdie at No. 5 and no one could match it. Lowry had a chip to win but left it short and missed his birdie putt. It came down to Tommy and he lipped out. “Oh, man, that felt good,” Bradley said. “I need all the revenge I can get on these guys.”

Fleetwood Gets on the Board

After missing a short putt on the 5th to push, Tommy Fleetwood wouldn’t let another opportunity get away on the 6th hole. “I’m on the board,” he said. Keegan’s sweep is now out of reach and Tommy would be getting paid. The reigning FedEx Cup champ isn’t hurting for money but he picked a good time to win his first skin as it was worth $150,000. The other three competitors each lost $50K from their accounts.

Keegan isn’t Done Yet

After Shane Lowry missed a short putt on the 7th to win his first skin, Keegan took advantage on the next hole making birdie and swooping up two more skins for a total of now 7 out of the possible 8. When Colt Knost told him that Justin Thomas predicted he had no chance of holing the birdie putt, Bradley wasn’t too happy. “Why’s that? I’m so glad that he said that so I could prove him wrong.” Hole 8 skins were worth $300K giving him a total of now $1.625 million.

Shane Lowry Avoids the Shutout

With a birdie on the par 5 9th hole, Shane Lowry officially got off the schneid. While the other 3 struggled with their short game and failed to get up and down for birdie, Lowry who had narrowly missed an eagle with a lip out, tapped in for his first skin. With Shane finally on the board, only Xander was shut out on the front nine. The skins increased to $225K starting on the back nine.

Keegan Bradley Makes History

With pushes on holes 10-12, the difficult par 3 hole 13 was next up and worth a cool $900k. With an opportunity to steal another 4 skins and make a putt for the largest total skin in the history of the event, Keegan took advantage. “I was nervous over the putt,” Bradley conceded. It brought his total earnings to 11 skins and $2,475,000. He would go on to earn a total of $2.1 million and win the most skins with 11.

Fleetwood 1 Ups Keegan

Tommy Fleetwood has had quite the 2025 season and he added to it by winning the final 3 skins (holes 14-16). With his birdie on the 16th, Tommy totaled 4 skins and earned himself $1.7 million dollars, but also made history as he broke Keegan’s previous record of money won on a hole with $1.2 million. Keegan Bradley earned the most money with a total of $2.1 million.

Schauffele Earns No Skins

The 2025 skins game was one to forget for Xander Schauffele. Making only 2 birdies on the day, he offered more entertainment with his personality than his game. Making numerous witty and humorous remarks, X won the day in a much different way. His picture with his $0 check is one for the books.
