Years After Impressing LPGA Legend With His Golf Skills, Stephen Curry Now Bids the Former Major Winner Farewell With a Heartfelt Message

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has a reputation for his golfing abilities apart from his balling prowess. The 4x NBA Champion impressed a seasoned LPGA great during a game in 2019. Years after the impressive game, Steph penned a heart-warming message to the legend ahead of her last tournament. 

Interestingly, PGA recently announced the Baby-faced assassin as the brand ambassador of golf for his passion toward the game. Contrastingly, the Splash Brothers Steph and Klay Thompson suffered an embarrassing defeat against NFL stars in a recent celebrity golf game. Leaving the defeat aside, the golfing legend’s showering praise on Curry says a different story.

33-year-old LPGA legend Michelle Wie West shook the golfing world with her retirement announcement last year. West is now set to play her last LPGA event as her 21-year-long career comes to a close this week.

The 2014 US Women’s Open winner cited her daughter’s birth in 2020 as the reason for her retirement. 

Ahead of her last tournament, Stephen Curry took to his Instagram and shared a tribute post for the legend along with a message. He wrote, “Legend in the game! Congrats on an amazing career @michellewiewest.”

Years before penning the farewell note, Steph had already impressed West with his golfing skills. During a podcast in 2020, West narrated the story of how Curry took part in a friendly golf competition with her buddies, days before her wedding. She added, “I was really blown away about how good he (Curry) was.”
