“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,” said Greg.

“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!”

Also announced to host the show are US actor and comedian Rob Riggle, and AFL commentator Brian Taylor. Both will serve as commentators on the series with Riggle is already successful in the role in the American production.
