Rock legend Alice Cooper and six-time PGA Tour winner Rocco Mediate have announced a new golf show on SiriusXM. Right out of the box, it has a pretty great name: “Rolling the Rock with Alice Cooper and Rocco Mediate.”
The duo plan to center their content around “a unique conversation at the junction of entertainment and golf.” The show starts July 2 exclusively on the SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio channel.
Mediate is best known for his Torrey Pines playoff duel against Tiger Woods at the 2008 U.S. Open.
Cooper took up golf close to 50 years ago on his road to alcohol addiction recovery. He frequently boasts about playing six times a week, even during his rock tours. He even gave his 2007 autobiography the title “Alice Cooper, Golf Monster.”
The two are frequent partners on the golf course, as well.
Rocco Mediate speaks during his SiriusXM PGA Tour radio show.
“Rocco asked me to do this show with him, talking about rock and golf, and it could not be a more perfect fit,” said Cooper in a statement released by SiriusXM. “We’ve known each other a long time. We’ve played in many tournaments together. He’s a frustrated rocker and I’m a frustrated golfer. It’s a match made on the fairway to heaven. It’s an anything-goes show that is all improv. We have no idea what we’re going to talk about until we start talking. We’re quite literally just ‘rolling the rock.’”
In addition to this new show, Mediate has his own show called “The Rocco Hour” on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio.
Cooper hosts a “Nights with Alice Cooper” on Phoenix rock station KDKB.
