The world of Formula 1 is quickly becoming a pioneer in making positive change happen in the wider sporting circles. With voices like Lewis Hamilton, and champions like Max Verstappen, it isn’t a surprise that whenever and wherever a positive step is being taken, F1 figures and makes an appearance there somewhere. Now, in light of a star-studded ‘revival’ of arguably the world’s most beloved sport, Golf, the world of Basketball and F1 have intertwined once again.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are rebelliously parading against LIV Golf, with their own league dubbed the TGL Golf League. After the announcement came last year, big names like Hamilton and Stephen Curry became financial backers in November. Now, just 10 months on, Curry has teamed up with yet another racing megastar for another cause very close to his heart.

Seen putting a few laps in, in a Max Verstappen in a bespoke RB19 Red Bull Racing simulator, Curry captioned his Tweet, Had a blast in the Player?s Lounge at the @UnderratedGolf #CurryCup Championship. Big thanks to @CDWCorp and @HP for their partnership to make this happen. #UGTour #StayUnderrated.”
