Far be it from us to doubt basketball superstar Steph Curry. The man delivered a championship to one of the more beleaguered franchises in the NBA, is a two-time MVP, and arguably the best shooter in the sport’s history. So we say this with love: please think twice about attempting professional golf.
Appearing on David Feherty’s eponymous show in America on Monday night, the host asked the Warriors star about his golf ambitions following his NBA career. Curry, who’s game has been well-documented, sounds like he’s interested in endeavours outside the amateur ranks.
“I’ve thought about it,” Curry said, regarding a PGA Tour run. “I’m very sensitive to the experience of the PGA Tour guys out there who have dedicated their life to what they do, just like I have with basketball. I don’t think I could, obviously, just jump out there; It’d be a lot of work that would go into it.”
Feherty noted Curry’s placid demeanour seems conducive to success in the sport.
“I have the passion for the game, I think, to fight through whatever it would take,” Curry continued. “I don’t know if it’s in the cards after I’m done playing, but I will still be playing golf until career is over.”
