Stephen Curry has all the reasons to celebrate right now. He and his team are on top of the NBA world. In addition to winning the 4th NBA title in 8 years, Curry has also won the long-awaited finals MVP. The celebrations were huge and the fans in San Francisco were absolutely elated to welcome the champions.
The Warriors’ squad was all extremely excited about the celebrations. However, Steph made sure to take out the time for an important message for young players. Not basketball players, but golfers. He initiated a new golf tour aimed at providing a competitive, all-expenses-paid opportunity for underrepresented young players. He launched and announced the planned golf tour in April. And the start of the tour is here.

Just like Michael Jordan, Stephen Curry also loves the game of golf. He often plays golf on his off days. It was befitting that a tour initiated by Steph was on the home of Michael Jordan.
Underrated Golf Tour spearheaded by Stephen Curry
Everybody knows Steph loves the game of golf. Curry said in April that he was really looking forward to extending his love for golf and helping the best young players across America. He said in a video posted to Twitter on April 21, “Less than 2% of golfers are people of color, and our tour provides a platform for equity, access, and opportunity for boys and girls who want to play and compete with the current best players on the AJGA.”
