At the 1992 Embassy World Championship, Skau defeated Dave Whitcombe in the first round 3–1 only to be knocked out by eventual champion Phil Taylor 3–1 in the second. He repeated this performance in 1996, beating Eric Burden in the first round but losing in the second round to Colin Monk. He also reached the quarterfinals of the 1991 Winmau World Masters, beating Les Delderfield and Mike Gregory before losing to American Dave Kelly.

Skau also won a number of open tournaments, winning the Finnish Open in 1991, the Swedish Open and the Swiss Open in 1993 and the German Open in 1994. It was during the 1993 Swiss Open where Skau hit a perfect nine-dart leg.

In 2009, Skau made a comeback – reaching the final of JFM Championships, losing to Per Laursen

Another visit to the oche, was made in 2013 – Skau played the Danish National Championships, which he won. Repeating his victories for almost 20 years ago, a feat he did repeat in 2016 and 2017 – Skau participated in some of the Scandinavian PDC events, just nearly missing out on one of the 2 World Championship spots.
