America’s ongoing celebrity golf game is a spectacle to behold in the NBA offseason. And much of this interest stems from a sharpshooter’s sensational strokes and swings on the course. Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is not only settling scores with his NFL rival but also swinging like a pro. His immaculate stroke-making makes many believe that the $160 million rich Chef is going home richer.
But one-half of Splash Brothers isn’t playing his beloved sports for money. The Warriors star earlier missed this year’s ESPYS for his casual golf outing with his father. However, his passionate participation in the celebrity golf tournament seems to be a sure shot at some big reward.

Curry’s chances are brighter than his competitors, given his teenage ties with the game. While creating one after another record on the court, Curry never concealed his desire to join the PGA Tour after his basketball career. Given his inclination and interest, he was recently named the 2023 Ambassador of Golf at the Kaulig Companies Championship.
