The Skins Game, a Thanksgiving weekend tradition for nearly three decades, became golf’s latest victim of the economic downturn when organizers said it would be postponed this year with no guarantees it would return.

IMG, which manages the Skins Game, had been negotiating a contract extension with LG when the Korean-based electronics company elected not to renew.

“We did another pass through the market place and couldn’t find a title sponsor,” said Mark Steinberg, head of IMG’s golf division.

Just like anything else, it isn't stupid to people who are interested in golf.

I like golf, but watching it on TV is kind of dull. I especially like the part where the announcers, who are holed up in a truck somewhere no where near the actual "action", whisper, like if they talk to loud Tiger Woods will sick his caddy on them.
