Skins Game Irrelevant?

Hello. FYI I read two articles on the web regarding why the Skins Game is no longer the event it used to be. Main reasons used were the field (Ames, Couples, Daly and Funk doesn't have the drawing power of Garcia, Mickelson, Sorenstam and Woods) and the purse is no longer large compared to a PGA event.
I do agree with both thoughts. Originally the purse was relatively enormous. The group was playing for money that would've been about the same size as their career earnings. Now, unless they were playing for $1M/hole, no one would be sweating too much. In fact, since all the guys playing are millionaires (except Daly, who goes through wives and money very quickly), it doesn't raise any eyebrows.
As for star power, the original group was Player, Nicklaus, Watson and Palmer. The equivalent today would be the "Big 5" (Woods, Mickelson, Singh, Els and Goosen). Today's guys don't have the personalities, and miking players isn't new anymore, so that part of it won't be anything special.
Maybe that's the problem. This event is nothing new anymore. It has not changed much in 20+ years. It could be time to break and fix it, or else put it to pasture.
What would I do? Up the purse and/or have the guys play for their own money. If they had a $200,000 each on the line of their own, I'm sure they'd battle more. Changing the course annually may work too.
Give some thought to change, Skins Game. This format needs some work.
