Golfing legend Greg Norman is teeing off on Australian TV, lending his star power to a mini golf showdown.
Norman, one of the world’s most successful golfers who has turned his name and fame into a vast business empire, will star on Channel 7’s new mini golf show, Holey Moley.
Norman, 64, will serve as resident golf pro of the madcap Holey Moley course and will appear in every episode.
“Holey Moley is mini golf like you’ve never seen before and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of this fresh, fun, new TV series,” Norman said.
“I look forward to joining the other incredible talent on the Holey Moley team and seeing all of the competitors in the ‘Thunderdome’ of mini golf.
“Let the games begin.”
The series will be co-hosted by American comedian/actor Rob Riggle and Melbourne-based footy legend Brian ‘BT’ Taylor.
Olympia Valance has signed on as the sideline reporter.
While he is no stranger to TV, it is unlikely Norman has been involved with anything quite like this show.
Holey Moley features mini-golf lovers from around Australia going head to head on the larger-than-life purpose-built course in California.
Each episode, one winner will take home the “golden putter” trophy and coveted Holey Moley plaid jacket.
The winners from each episode will then face off in a grand final vying for the $100,000 top prize.
Holey Moley begins production in the US next month.
