ABC Tees Up Extreme Mini-Golf Competition Series HOLEY MOLEY

ABC announced today the network pickup of new extreme miniature golf competition series, "Holey Moley." The first-of-its-kind, 10-episode mini-golf competition will showcase self-proclaimed mini-golf lovers from around the country as they compete head-to-head through an unparalleled, epic obstacle golf course. NBA superstar Stephen Curry will serve as executive producer, resident golf pro of the "Holey Moley" course and appear in every episode. Rounding out the on-camera talent is color commentator Rob Riggle, play-by-play commentator Joe Tessitore and sideline correspondent Jeannie Mai.

"Holey Moley" will focus on the family-favorite game of mini-golf with a twist. In each episode, 12 contestants will put their miniature golf-and physical-skills to the test and face off in never-before-seen challenges on a larger-than-life course. Mini-golf experts of all ages and backgrounds will try their luck on "Holey Moley"'s supersized holes. Every episode will consist of three rounds of golf, culminating with three finalists taking on the daunting "Mt. Holey Moley" in a three-way contest.

Ultimately, one winner per episode will take home the $25,000 prize, along with "The Golden Putter" trophy and coveted "Holey Moley" plaid jacket. Uniquely themed holes will be featured every week, along with special celebrity guest appearances and other surprises along the way. "Everyone has a favorite memory of playing miniature golf, whether it was as a child with your family, with a group of friends as a teenager, or on an awkward first date. Take that feeling, add high STAKES competition and out-of-this-world challenges, and we have no DOUBT 'Holey Moley' will stand alongside other golf classics like 'Caddyshack,' 'Happy Gilmore' and 'The Legend of Bagger Vance,'" said Rob Mills, senior vice president, Alternative Series, Specials and Late Night, ABC
