Joining the four captains are NFL superstar Justin Herbert who will play with Rahm as well as New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley who will compete alongside Thompson.
Here are the teams for the event:

“Nickelodeon delivers a tee-rific golf competition with Nickelodeon Slime Cup, a brand-new special produced with key members from the team behind the popular made-for-TV golf franchise, The Match,” Nickelodeon stated in a press release. “The hour-long special will feature four teams as they compete on a ‘Nick-ified’ golf course to reach an unpredictable final round taking place inside the iconic Rose Bowl stadium. Nickelodeon Slime Cup will simulcast on Saturday, June 25, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) across Nickelodeon, TeenNick and Nicktoons.”
While it may not be the green of the Masters jacket, those who are crowned champions will don a Nick orange blazer. That is not to say players will be left without any green as the eventual winners will also receive the privilege of being slimed.
