Champions Skins Game will move to Ka'anapali

The Wendy's Champions Skins Game will stay on Maui, moving from Wailea to Ka'anapali Resort for its 21st tee time next year.

The deal is for three years, according to Ka'anapali Golf Resort general manager Ed Kageyama.

The made-for-TV exhibition, which recently has been the only place to see golf icons Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus playing together, is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 23 and 24 at the Royal Ka'anapali Course. Players and format will be finalized later.

ESPN is expected to telecast the event.

The first two Senior Skins Games were played at Turtle Bay and La Quinta (Calif.). The event found a home at Mauna Lani the next 11 years, and moved to Wailea in 2001.
