Besides all of its work during the Super Bowl by giving fans an inside look into all of the excitement at the event, as well as its annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports award show, Nickelodeon is continuing to give kids a lot to look forward to at the PGA Tour’s THE PLAYERS Championship.
It has just been announced that Nickelodeon has a lot of spectacular and highly-anticipated plans for THE PLAYERS Championship. Nickelodeon has a lot of on-the-ground activities set at the McKenzie Noelle Wilson Foundation Kid Zone during the championship. Kids and families who attend THE PLAYERS Championship will get to show off their golf skills at the SpongeBob Squarepants mini-golf challenge and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Puttskee. Attendees will also be able to get virtually slimed and even get up close and personal with the iconic SpongeBob Squarepants.
For those who aren’t able to attend THE PLAYERS Championship, Nickelodeon will also be providing a lot of magnificent things for fans to enjoy on their TV screens as well. In fact, on Friday, May 12th through Sunday, May 14th, School of Rock star and talented golfer, Breanna Yde will be hosting the “NickSports Presents Golf Rocks Weekend” segment that will air on Nicktoons. School of Rock stars Aidan Miner, Jade Pettyjohn, Lance Lim, Ricardo Hurtado, and Tony Cavalero will also be joining in on the fun during the Mega Golf Challenge.
