Despite Being a Fan, Stephen Curry Ignores Tiger Woods’ $1.1B Favorites for a $3.2B Rival

Stephen Curry’s passion for golf is well-known by both NBA and Golf fans worldwide. Ahead of the Sunday match against the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors star was caught nerding about his golf arsenal with a very unlikely person. 

The two-time NBA MVP spoke about the clubs he uses on the greens. Given his passion for golf, it was not surprising. What indeed was surprising was the fact that a known Tiger Woods fan, Curry, appeared to ditch his favorite star’s partner in favor of a rival brand.

Stephen Curry chats with the referee… about golf

Stephen Curry found a golf aficionado in the most unlikely places ahead of the GSW game against the Houston Rockets. Before the match started, Curry was seen talking with his referee about golf. The funniest thing is the conversion was initiated by the referee himself.

Curry despite being a Tiger Woods fan picked a different club other than the one 15x Major Winner uses. Woods has a long-time partnership with TalylorMade and is a brand ambassador of TaylorMade Golf whose revenue stands at $1.1B. Even, his son Charlie Woods has been seen sporting TaylorMade golf clubs. However, Stephen Curry prefers Callaway Golf, another giant equipment brand, worth $3.8B as of 2022.

“What kind of golf driver do you use?” The referee was seen asking the legendary NBA player. That certainly caught the sharpshooter off-guard. Taking a moment to recollect, the GSW point guard was quick to respond, “I got the Callaway Paradym.” Take a look at the clip for yourself.

This was not the first time the 9x NBA All Star has talked about Golf. In fact, for Curry golf is more than just a leisurely activity. He has earned accolades in the golf world as well.

Curry’s passion for golf goes beyond a mere pastime

Stephen Curry takes golf more seriously than just a pastime. The four-time NBA champion boasts a Handicap of +1.3. He was made the 2023 Ambassador of Golf Award as well.

Curry won the American Century Championship title at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Stateline earlier this year. In the celebrity golf event, the 35-year-old NBA star nailed an eagle on the 18th hole in the final round to take home his first trophy. The tournament also saw him bagging his second-ever ace-in-hole at the par 3 seventh hole. 

With his skill and passion, Curry would have made a pretty good American pro golfer had he not chosen the hoop as his primary profession. Actually, at 35 years of age, Stephen Curry has still the chance to try his luck in Pro golf.
