Alice Cooper

Rock legend Alice Cooper and six-time PGA Tour winner Rocco Mediate are teaming up for a unique new golf show airing on SiriusXM. Since taking up the game nearly 50 years ago as he was recovering from alcohol addiction, Cooper has been one of golf's best known celebrity devotees. He would say later that he had essentially traded one addiction for another. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has been on the golf course six days a week for the past 30 years (even while touring), boasts an impressive four handicap, and titled his 2007 autobiography: "Alice Cooper, Golf Monster."

Mediate and Cooper are frequent playing partners and on this show they will share stories from their careers, talk with guests from the worlds of entertainment and golf, and discuss the latest topics from the professional tour, equipment, instruction and more.

"Rolling the Rock with Alice Cooper and Rocco Mediate" will debut Tuesday, July 2 (6pm ET) and air monthly on the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel.

"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. "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 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.'"

"Alice and Rocco are larger-than-life personalities with a deep mutual love of golf and music, and on SiriusXM they have a platform to share their passion for both with our audience," commented SiriusXM President and Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein. "When you bring together two people who are among the best at what they do, and give them the freedom to create a show that truly showcases their personalities and perspectives, you get dynamic and compelling programming. If you are into golf, music or both, this is a show you don't want to miss."

In addition to hosting the new "Rolling the Rock" show, Mediate hosts his own twice-a-week program, "The Rocco Hour," Monday and Tuesday nights on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio.
