Curry is a self-proclaimed “golf junkie.” He plays 40 rounds a year, carries a reported +1.3 handicap index and has flirted with the idea of going pro after basketball. He has played with President Barack Obama and at Augusta National. With that privilege, Curry said, comes a responsibility to assist others who need obstacles removed to have success in golf — and life. Those obstacles were supposed to be eased by the arrival of Tiger Woods. But Woods’s success never translated into an influx of people of color reaching the PGA or LPGA tours. That left an opening for Curry to take a shot at changing the complexion of another game through Underrated Golf. “It’s a solvable issue, if that makes sense,” he said. “Get kids into the game earlier and get clubs in their hands, make sure there’s no financial burden on, or a barrier to, them being able to play the game. The game needs it. I would almost be doing myself a disservice” to not invest.
The five-time LPGA Tour champion got married on Saturday to Jonnie West, an executive for the Golden State Warriors and the son of NBA legend Jerry West, in Beverly Hills. As you might expect, several current LPGA players and legends were in attendance. Danielle Kang and Alison Lee posted photos on their Instagram accounts from Wie's big day. Meg Mallon and Beth Daniel were also invited, according to a post from Alison Walshe.
