Who’s ready for Slime Time?
The folks at Nickelodeon announced the Nickelodeon Slime Cup on Thursday, a new golf special that fill feature the likes of PGA Tour stars Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm as well as the LPGA’s Lexi Thompson. New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will also be involved, as well as actor Terry Crews and Nick Stars Isaiah Crews, Kate Godfrey, Jaidyn Triplett and Tyler Wladis. Gabrielle Nevaeh Green will commentate.
Players will be split into four teams of three, each with a professional golfer, a celebrity and a Nickelodeon star. Additional talent is still yet to be announced. The Nickelodeon Slime Cup will be a two-round event with holes inspired by Nickelodeon shows. The final event, known as “The Unfairway,” will decide the winner of the Slime-green blazer, and of course, who gets slimed.
According to a release, “key members from the team behind the popular made-for-TV golf franchise, The Match,” will help produce hour-long special on a “Nick-ified” golf course with the final hole inside the Rose Bowl. Production begins this month in Los Angeles with the event to air later this summer.
