The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) has announced a celebrity bowling event that will be hosted by Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and avid bowler Jimmie Allen.
The Jimmie Allen PBA Challenge will take place on October 5 at Bowlero Matthews in Matthews, North Carolina, with a live musical performance beginning at 6 p.m. ET and bowling beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
The event will feature performances from Allen and fellow country stars Chris Young, Chuck Wicks and Neon Union.
In addition to their performances, Wicks, Neon Union and Allen will be joined by Darius Rucker and Terrell Owens on the lanes.
The country music stars will also be competing alongside PBA Tour stars. Each artist will be paired with a PBA player for a doubles competition.
"Since the moment my friend Cortland Finnegan introduced me to bowling, I've been hooked," said Allen. "I've been a fan of the PBA for years as a viewer."
"But I'm excited for the next part of my journey with the PBA, and that is to make bowling a worldwide sport with the same respect that's given to basketball, baseball, and football," he added.
Viewers can live stream the PBA on the FOX Sports and FOX Now apps or at FOXSports.com.
The event will air on October 16 on FOX, varying per market, before or after local NFL games.
