If you were a fan of the Skins matches, especially back in the day when Arnie, Jack, Gary and Lee were playing them, the highly rated event will return for the first time since 2008 as the golf world heads for a week in Japan, with the Japan Skins on Monday then the inaugural Zozo Championship over the weekend.
Fred Couples is the winningest player in Skins history (1983 was the first) with 5 victories worth $2.43 million.
It's a great time for sports fans in Japan as the World Rugby Championships have been wildly popular despite the fact parts of the island are being hammered by typhoons. By the way the brave Japanese team bowed out this morning in the quarter finals to two time champions South Africa, but not before winning the hearts of everyone with their dazzling display of running and ball handling. England vs All Blacks and Wales vs South Africa are the semi finalists.
