|  |  KA’ANAPALI, Maui – There’s a new venue that promises to feature much of the old dramatics you’d expect from a field that features Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, along with Jay Haas, Loren Roberts, Fuzzy Zoeller and Peter Jacobsen. And with Nicklaus and Watson as the defending champions of the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME, drama and the legends of the game should play as big a role in the proceedings as they have in the past.
The 21st edition of the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME moves to the stunning Royal Ka’anapali Golf Course Feb. 23-24, 2008. For the third consecutive year, the players will compete in the alternate-shot, team format that lends itself to drama and spectacular shots. The players will play nine holes each day, with ESPN televising the Wendy’s Champions SKINS GAME on a same-day, tape-delayed basis Saturday, Feb. 23 and Sunday, Feb. 24.

Team Nicklaus-Watson finished with nine skins and $320,000, boosting the Golden Bear to a career-record 96 skins and $2,295,000. Second in 2006, Nicklaus and Watson sealed the win when Player-Haas bogeyed the first playoff hole and were eliminated.
