PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida – THE PLAYERS Championship is proud to continue its partnership with Nemours Children’s Health, the tournament’s Youth Sponsor, to provide an unforgettable experience for kids and families attending the 2026 tournament.

From March 10-15, families can enjoy the Kids Zone and Autograph Zones presented by Nemours Children’s Health, offering fun, engaging activities designed especially for kids. Located near the main entrance and PGA TOUR Fan Shop, the Kids Zone features interactive attractions like a life-size operation game, a coloring wall, and a photo booth, allowing kids to have a blast while parents relax. The Kids Zone is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Friday, Nemours Children’s Health will host “Tee Off to Reading” in the Kids Zone – an all-day celebration of learning, early childhood development, and kindergarten readiness. Kids will experience the fun of learning through interactive storytelling, movement, and exploration. Nemours Children’s Health NFL Brand Ambassador Brian Thomas, Jr. and Jacksonville Jaguars mascot Jaxson de Ville will join the event.

The Autograph Zones give young fans the chance to meet their favorite golfers after rounds. Free autograph books will be available at the Kids Zone, making it easy for kids to collect signatures from their golf heroes.

“For a seventh year, Nemours is proud to partner with THE PLAYERS Championship to offer fun and welcoming experiences for families in the Kids Zone and Autograph Zones,” said R. Lawrence Moss, MD, FACS, FAAP, President and CEO of Nemours Children's Health. “Children and their families can join us for engaging learning experiences, opportunities to play and move, and activities that provide meaningful time together—all important elements for a healthy childhood.”
