Players putting up their own money would be interesting but will never happen . . . it would come off as an endorsement for gambling. What the Skins Game needs: (1) televise all 18 holes; (2) forget the graduated payouts where the 18th hole is worth ten zillion dollars more than the first six holes (why should it be?); (3) reinstate the Stymie rules (where players don't have to mark their balls on the green); (4) make it an international foursome of current top MALE players (even if you have to pre-record it to accommodate vacation schedules);(5) deduct money from players on each hole for fairways and greens missed, as well as for 3-putts (which would reward good steady play and not just lucky play); and, (6) limit the number of clubs they can bring with them to, say, five. Hmm, that sounds like an interesting event. Nah, they'll never go for it!
