He said that his dad got him into the game. “My dad picked up the game,” said Curry, “when he was in his 20s”. He further stated, “He introduced it to me and my brother when we were 9/10. I slowly fell in love with the game, picked it up, and played it ever since.”?

Curry has confessed that he was a golf junkie and followed everyone on the tour. He got mostly influenced by one man: Tiger Woods. Curry said, “He was a big influence on me enjoying the game.” According to him, they share the same drive to be competitive.
