After Retirement, Steph Curry has hints the public of His New career In PGA Tour goal following retirement from the NBA
NBA player Steph Curry hasn’t ruled out retiring from basketball in order to compete on the PGA Tour.
The 36-year-old point guard for the Golden State Warriors has played golf regularly since he was ten years old, and his handicap has dropped as low as plus-three.
Curry might decide to focus exclusively on the golf course after retirement, given his athletic prowess and apparent innate talent for the game.
He has even hinted at his desire to try his luck on the PGA Tour Champions – the Tour’s professional senior league for golfers aged 50 and above.
“I am unsure of the route,” Curry said to Golf Digest. “I just know that after I finish playing basketball, I’m going to put as much effort into my golf as I can to see how good I can get. We’ll see where that puts me in 14 years.”
NBA player Steph Curry hasn’t ruled out the prospect of retiring and competing on the PGA Tour.
With his victory in the American Century Championship last year—his first in the celebrity tournament—Curry has already demonstrated his skill on the fairways.
Prior to surpassing it with his final eagle on the par-5 18th hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on the banks of Lake Tahoe, he had already made a hole-in-one earlier in the competition.
In various editions of The Match, the four-time NBA Champion has faced off against NFL and PGA players.
Jordan Spieth, the 25th-ranked player in the world, thinks the NBA star has what it takes to challenge his fellow professionals in the game.
Spieth told Golf Digest, “He’d be one of the longest right away on the Champions tour.”
You can’t miss on both sides of the flag out there, so it would come down to how tight he could get his game from 150 yards and in. He would rip up par 5s.
He clearly carries the clutch gene, but his happiness is what really strikes me. He hasn’t seen playing basketball as labor since he started doing it.
Before returning to the Bay Area for his 16th season in the league, Curry committed to Team USA’s gold medal chances at the Olympics in Paris this summer, meaning he will not be able to defend his title at the ACC.

For his sixteenth season in the league, the 36-year-old will make his way back to the Bay Area.
In 2022, Curry began his own ‘Underrated’ golf circuit with the intention of diversifying the game.
This year marks the tour’s European debut. Its mission is to give young golfers opportunities, equity, and access to top-tier courses and national competitions during the summer months, which they might not otherwise have.
The Old Barnwell Golf Course in Aiken, South Carolina will host the circuit’s third season opening weekend, June 21–23.
24 of the top boys and girls will battle for the Curry Cup at the Underrated Tour Championship, which will take place at The Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey, September 2–5, for the first time ever outside of the Bay Area. This is after they have completed four stops on the Tour.
In addition, at Pinehurst, the US Open next month, he will accept the Charlie Sifford Award in honor of his efforts to advance diversity in golf.
