Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry graces the cover of Golf Digest once again, this time with a two-pronged mission: growing the game of golf and elevating his own skills on the fairway.
Curry, a well-known golf enthusiast alongside his legendary basketball career, is vocal about increasing diversity in the sport. The article highlights his desire to make golf “blacker and browner,” reflecting the underrepresentation of African Americans in professional and amateur golf.
This isn’t just talk for Curry. He’s putting his money where his mouth is with his own golf tournament, the aptly named “Underrated.” This initiative aims to broaden golf’s appeal and create a more inclusive environment.
While promoting inclusivity, Curry isn’t neglecting his personal game. The 36-year-old has his sights set on joining the PGA Tour Champions after his NBA days are over. The article mentions his dedication to improvement, even revealing that analysts were impressed by his swing metrics putting him on par with PGA Tour averages!
Whether it’s advocating for change or chasing birdies, Stephen Curry is a golfer to watch. Be sure to grab the latest issue of Golf Digest to delve deeper into Curry’s plans for the green.
