When LG SKINS GAME defending champion Stephen Ames, SKINS GAME legend Fred Couples, reigning Masters champion Zach Johnson and long-hitting Brett Wetterich tee off for the Silver Anniversary LG SKINS GAME this weekend at the spectacular new Celebrity Course at Indian Wells Golf Resort, they will have their eye on the prize, ranging from a $50,000 suite of products to HDTV home theater systems to LG's new premium kitchen package.

If a player cards an eagle on the 4th hole (par-5, 501 yards) Saturday or the 14th (par-5, 519 yards) on Sunday, he will win an amazing array of LG Electronics products: 60- and 50-inch plasma HDTVs; 52-, 47-, 42- and 32-inch LCD HDTVs; two home theater surround sound systems; a French-door refrigerator, gas or electric range, dishwasher and over-the-range microwave; SteamWasher(TM) and SteamDryer(TM) front-load laundry pair with pedestals; LG's groundbreaking Super Blu(TM) dual-format high-definition disc player, DVD player, portable DVD, portable GPS navigator, and mini-audio system; plus four LG mobile phones -- all told, more than
$50,000 worth of high-tech gear.
The player firing his tee shot closest to the pin on the 6th hole (par-3, 237 yards) Saturday will win a 52-inch LCD HDTV, Super Blu player and home theater audio system, while the player closest to the pin on Sunday at the 16th hole (par-3, 180 yards) earns a new LG kitchen, including a French-door refrigerator, dishwasher, range and microwave oven.
