Cheddy (Freezer Tarps)

Is Cheddy in Nelk? Is he a Nelk boy or part of Nelk?

As of November 2026, Cheddy is not named as a member of the Nelk Boys in any source we found; he is a recurring guest on Nelk’s Full Send Golf channel. Full Send Golf has built several of its most watched matches around him, including “Nelk Boys VS Caleb Pressley & Freezer Tarps 10 Hole Match!”, with about 987,000 views, where he and Caleb Pressley played against the Nelk Boys, plus “Salim and Freezer Tarps Have a CRAZY $5,000 Golf Match!”, “Nelk Boys, Bob Menery & Freezer Tarps Have a WILD Golf Match!” with Bob Menery, and “Salim, Cheddy, DOD King & Big John Golf with Wholesome Girls!”. He has also been on the Full Send Podcast, where a clip has him explaining his “beef” with Mike Majlak. His own most viewed upload, with about 231,000 views, is “24 HOURS IN VEGAS WITH NELK AND ANDREW + TRISTAN TATE”. Neither he nor Nelk has announced that he joined the group. More on the group is on our Nelk hub.

What happened to Cheddy?

Nothing has happened to Cheddy that an accepted outlet has reported, as of November 2026; the reason people are searching is the 2026 Internet Invitational, where he plays for Team Green. What is public: the latest upload on his main YouTube channel is “Big John vs Cheddy Full Livestream”, posted May 31, 2026, a match against Big John, who also posted “I Played a Golf Tournament DRUNK… Then Shot 67 (ft freezertarps)” in June 2026. Before that, most of his long videos on that channel date from about a year earlier, and he has kept streaming on Kick. Full Send Golf posted a short titled “Best Of Luck Cheddy” about three months before this update; we have not verified what it refers to, so we do not characterize it.

Is Cheddy in the Internet Invitational?

As of November 6, 2026, we found no accepted outlet reporting a match between Cheddy and Robby Berger and Riggs and Gaethje, or its result, so we do not give a score.

What is Cheddy’s real name? Why is he called Freezer Tarps?

Cheddy’s real name is Max Van der Aarde, per Famous Birthdays, which also lists the nickname “Vandy.” Famous Birthdays says the name Freezer Tarps comes from putting a shirt in the freezer to prevent or reverse sweat stains, and that his word “Letty” means hair, which is where his hair product company Letty Dressing got its name.

Who represents Cheddy?

As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for Cheddy; his YouTube About page links his merch store and an Upper Deckys site, and his Kick channel is a Kick affiliate. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because his Internet Invitational spot has people asking whether he is part of Nelk, and most of the answer is on the record. If that changes, this entry will say so.
