4. All Jacked Up. In 1984, the Skins Game was still at its best featuring the Big Three Plus One — Palmer, Player, Nicklaus and Tom Watson. Watson mopped up on the opening nine but the legends gamely battled it out on the back. No skins were won, making the 18th a carryover hole worth $240,000. Nicklaus won it all plus the event's title when he sank a 10-foot putt on the final green. How big a moment was it? Jack was so excited that he tossed his putter into the air, something he did only one other time — when he edged Doug Sanders in the British Open at St. Andrews.
