Stephen Curry might not be having his best season with the Golden State Warriors, but individually he’s branching out. Although the four-time NBA Champion is currently plagued with an injury, it seems life is good outside the sport. In a recent Instagram post, the Warriors superstar revealed his milestone achievement outside basketball. Amidst LeBron James’ record-breaking night in LA, Curry’s news was also one to cheer for. Although the Dubs guard has achieved most of what he’s dreamed of in his life, this feat will hold a special place in his heart.
In a recent post on social media, Curry announced that he’d be the ‘Ambassador for golf’ for the PGA Tour. A choice made by the PGA tour organization that couldn’t make the Warriors no. 30 any happier. Meanwhile, fans had a lot to say on social media after the announcement.

The Baby faced assassin’s love for golf is pretty well-known. The four-time NBA Champion once mentioned that he felt he could’ve probably made it if he put in as much effort in golf as he did in basketball. As he’s “obsessed” with the sport, Curry decided to launch UNDERRATED golf in 2022, to be a part of the sport.

The Warriors superstar’s love for the sport is genuinely understated, as he once mentioned that playing gold during the offseason makes him more nervous than he generally is during NBA games. After all of this, one might think that Curry would look to buy a few more clubs, once he decides to retire from basketball.
