Golf is an extremely popular sport in the United States. One of its enthusiasts is Stephen Curry, the leader of the Golden State Warriors. He loves playing golf, and in 2019, he decided to invest a significant amount of money in the sport. According to American media, Curry will sponsor the golf team at Howard University for six years.

In 2023, Curry participated in the American Century Championship, a tournament for celebrities and athletes. The 36-year-old won his first golf tournament in truly impressive style.

During the competition, the basketball player hit the hole directly on the first shot from a distance of 153 metres (rounded). For an amateur, this is a truly phenomenal feat.

I am so excited right now, that is crazy. I’ll be out of breath for the rest of the day, but for good reason though - said Stephen Curry, quoted by CNN.

During the tournament, spectators could see boxer Saul Alvarez and Hollywood actors Michael Peña and Don Cheadle.

Curry has taken advantage of the NBA season's break and has once again appeared on the golf course. He excelled alongside Gary Williams at the Garry Cup tournament.

New contract for the NBA star

Curry began his professional career in 2009 when the Golden State Warriors selected him. Soon, he became one of the most influential figures in the NBA. His shooting skills, especially from long distance, revolutionised basketball.

Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN revealed that Stephen Curry is close to signing a contract extension with the Golden State Warriors. The new agreement will increase his league-high salary by another $7 million and allow him to stay with the team until the end of the 2026–27 season.
