The next Skins Game, scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend, is set to get an injection of youth with the addition of 21-year-old sensation Jackson Koivun.
After he burst onto the scene this summer, and had a solid showing at the Presidents Cup, Koivun is set to join Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Wyndham Clark in the Nov. 27 competition at Atlantic Fields Club in Hobe Sound, Fla.
The foursome will play for $4 million in prize money with the competition set to air on Amazon Prime Video without a subscription.
The inclusion of Koivun continues a whirlwind year for the Auburn alum. He made his PGA Tour debut at this year’s John Deere Classic on Fourth of July weekend but missed the cut. Three weeks later, in his third career start, he won the 3M Open outside of Minneapolis by holding off Scottie Scheffler.
An invitation to play in the Presidents Cup led to a 2-0-1 record as the United States defeated a team of international stars 17-13 just outside of Chicago in September.
Koivun still is set to appear in multiple FedExCup Fall events before making his debut in TGL near the start of the new year as a teammate of Koepka, who is also making his TGL debut.
