There’s no secret that Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has an affinity to the sport of golf. Curry participates in the annual golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif., every summer. Some might argue that he could play professional golf if he wanted to as his golf swing is as smooth as his jump shot.

Curry’s rise to superstardom in the NBA has been well-documented as well. From the skinny, 6’2” point guard with ankle problems to now the eight-time All-Star, two-time MVP, All-Star Game MVP, Finals MVP and four-time champion, Curry went from underrated to media sensation.

So when Curry launched the Underrated Golf Tour campaign — it was no surprise that his team wants to give underrepresented people in the world of golf a chance to succeed.

On Aug. 30, the Underrated Golf Tour completed its first season. Ashley Shaw and Roman Solomon won the Curry Cup at San Francisco’s TPC Harding Park, but the whole squad celebrated with the now iconic night-night celebration after the winners were announced.

NBA veteran Andre Iguodala and American professional golfer Collin Morikawa made an appearance as well to help support the youngsters in their journey. Like Curry, Iguodala also has a love for golf and has been shown on the links with Curry multiple times throughout the years.

As Curry continues to be a leader both on and off the court, Curry brought up a quote from Michael Jordan’s infamous “The Last Dance” documentary during a panel interview on Tuesday night featuring the recently crowned NBA champ and host of the Curry Cup tournament finale.

“[Michael Jordan] never asked anybody on his team or in the organization to do anything that he wouldn’t do himself,” Curry said.

With the Underrated Golf Tour, Curry looks to make an impact on the future of the golf world. As the young athletes continue to strive, Curry’s Underrated Golf Tour strives to “increase the participation numbers amongst competitive golfers from diverse communities and have them play hand in hand with their peers who currently represent the vast majority in today’s golfers.”
