NBA star Stephen Curry is trading his three-pointers for putters.
The Golden State Warriors point guard is teaming up with ABC for an all-new competition series calledHoley Moley, which will pit mini-golf lovers against each other on an “epic obstacle golf course,”the network announced Wednesday.
Each of the show’s 10 episodes will feature 12 contestants putting their best putt forward on a larger-than-life course with supersized holes. At the end, three finalists will tackle Mt. Holey Moley for a chance at $25,000, a “Golden Putter” trophy and a special plaid jacket.

Curry, 31, will serve as both executive producer and resident golf pro.
Holey Moleywill also include various celebrity guest appearances.
“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,” Rob Mills, SVP alternative series, specials and late night at ABC Entertainment, said in a press release. “Take that feeling, add high stakes competition and out-of-this-world challenges, and we have no doubtHoley Moleywill stand alongside other golf classics likeCaddyshack,Happy GilmoreandThe Legend of Bagger Vance.”
ABC will air the show in collaboration with Unanimous Media, the company Curry co-founded in 2018.
The show is set to begin production this month, though no air date has been released.
