How a Group of Golf Fans Achieved Their Ultimate Dream Through Steph Curry and the NBA

Across the globe, sports fans have earned a reputation for being passionate about their game. Not restricted to one event, sports often work towards bringing people together. In this case, however, NBA and golf came together to fund a trip to The Open Championship.

Working on a simple goal of attending The Open, a small group of college friends achieved the impossible.

Now, while one might often want to visit and watch a golf major live, the overall cost is quite expensive. This year, against all odds, fans made their way to the Old Course because the Golden State Warriors won a title.

As per reports, Concordia College’s Andrew Beliveau and his other friends were able to watch The Open Championship at St. Andrews. They bet on the Warriors winning the title, which ended up paying them handsomely. Beliveau himself is part of the Dub Nation and ended up betting on the team with his friend.

They invested around $5000 to $6000 over the season. The return was a whopping $30,000. Around $18,000 of it was spent on the Airbnb they used. The profit they earned was truly impressive, and the group was seen in Kevon Looney jerseys.

Did the fans know what they were doing?

“I go, ‘Let’s just throw a s**tload of money on them,’” Beliveau revealed. From plane tickets to accommodation, spending days at the Old Course is not cheap. Not only did the Warriors prove themselves with another title, Beliveau and his friends enjoyed NBA and golf both.

Since the betting they wanted to do was not legal in Minnesota, they even traveled to Iowa to do so. “We hit all the kiosks, as much as we could get on it. We all chipped in.”

The odds of a win kept increasing, and their small group ended up watching the Open Championship.

They were even supporting Rory McIlroy for the weekend. While Cameron Smith took away the final title, McIlroy and Victor Hovland gave their best. Smith ended up overtaking McIlroy, taking home the prestigious 150th Open title.
