Gatorade Tiger Challenges Fans to Focus on Their Game to Win an “Out of This World” Vacation Experience Worth up to $125,000

NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson and ESPN personality Trey Wingo to participate in competition to benefit Tiger Woods Foundation

WHAT:            The Gatorade Tiger™ Moonshot Challenge

Taking a cue from the Gatorade Tiger “Moonshot” ad campaign featuring Tiger Woods hitting a golf ball from the moon, Gatorade Tiger is offering New York City residents the chance to demonstrate their long-drive skills in a golf simulator designed to look like the moon.  The man and woman with the longest drives in the simulator between 10:00AM and 5:00PM on June 11 in Times Square will join long-drive winners from previous Moonshot events across the country in the Moonshot Challenge Grand Prize Event from 6:00PM to 7:00PM that same day.  The male and female champions of the Grand Prize Event will be able to create their own “out of this world” vacation experience worth up to $125,000. 

Two-time defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson and ESPN personality Trey Wingo will make an appearance and set the stage by hitting a drive in the simulator to kickoff the Grand Prize Event.  Both will be on site from 4:00PM to 7:00PM.

On behalf of fans who participate in the Moonshot Challenge events, Gatorade Tiger will donate $100,000 to the Tiger Woods Foundation to benefit kids.  Fans can get more information about the event and enter an Online Sweepstakes at www.gatoradetiger.com.
