Needless to say, the lineup is splendid and the audiences are excited. In the first episode’s teaser recently released which was posted by Golf Channel on Twitter, Curry was spotted with the former LPGA star Michelle Wie West.

The video shows Curry talking about his exceptional skills to come out of the rough. Seconds later, Stephen Curry is seen taking a stance on a ball placed in a similar lie to that of Woods. He then goes on to widen his stance, open his club face and take a full swing while sweeping the ball softly from underneath the rough.
