Wendy's Champions Skins Game
The Wendy's Champions Skins Game was an unofficial golf tournament on the Champions Tour. It is played annually in January/February in Maui, Hawaii at Kaanapali Golf Resort (Royal Kaanapali Golf Course). Wendy's is the main sponsor of the tournament.
The tournament was founded in 1988 as the Senior Skins Game. It was played in a skins game format where each hole, and the money or "skin" associated with it, was won by one player only if they win that hole outright. If no player won the hole, the "skin" carried over to the next hole. From 1988 to 2005, it was played as an individual event with four players (five in 1991). Beginning in 2006, it was played as an alternate-shot two-man team event with four teams.
The tournament was discontinued in December 2011.[1] The purse for the final tournament in 2011 was US$770,000.
