“We’re excited to continue our partnership with NBCUniversal and bring ‘Niiice Shot’ to GOLF Channel,” said Curry and Erick Peyton of Unanimous Media. “We thank Andre Iguodala, Michelle Wie West, Alex Riggs and Rory McIlroy for helping us attempt some of the most iconic golf shots in the past 20 years.
