Actor and comedian Rob Riggle already has one golf-themed show — the extreme miniature golf game show Holey Moley on ABC — and now he’s teaming with equipment maker PXG for a web-based series.
Before his memorable roles in movies like The Hangover, 21 & 22 Jump Street and Step Brothers, Riggle was a U.S. Marine like PXG founder Bob Parsons and spent 23 years in the Marine Corps. Riggle has played PXG clubs for years, but now becomes an official ambassador and content creator for the brand.
Riggle’s six-part web series, “Playing Around with Rob Riggle,” will premiere on YouTube on Aug. 18 and new episodes will air every Thursday through late September. In each episode, Riggle and his guests will play three holes at Scottsdale National Golf Club — PXG’s home base — while discussing a wide variety of topics and sharing their passion for golf. Guests will include NFL players, golf broadcasters, military veterans, PXG customers and more.
“We’ve been team Riggle for years,” said Parsons. “Now, I’m pleased and proud to officially welcome my fellow Devil Dog and funny man, Rob Riggle, to team PXG.”
PXG has supported Riggle’s annual charity golf tournament for a number of years and Riggle in 2021 appeared as a captain for Team Semper Fi in the PXG College Golf Showcase that donated money to military-focused foundations.
