This Day in Golf--Nov. 26

The late fall and early winter have been known as golf's Silly Season for a few decades now, referring to the gorging tour pros do on rich, limited-field, little-pressure events. It all began with the Skins Game, which was played for the first time in 1983. On this date at Desert Highlands in Arizona, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tom Watson played the front nine, and finished the back the following day. Player won the most cash with $170,000 and Palmer was second with $140,000.
