Stephen Curry, Setting his Sights on a $50 Million Goal, Reveals Even Ayesha is Embracing Golf Now

Steph Curry is undoubtedly one of, if not the greatest, shooters to ever grace the hardwood. But during the offseason, it’s only golf that’s on the point guard’s mind. Steph has been playing golf since he was a kid, and almost two decades later, Chef Curry is showing everyone why he might be good enough to even go pro. But the Warriors’ guard is not the only one in the family who seems to have fallen in love with the sport. Ayesha Curry, Steph’s wife, seems to be having a great time on the course as well.

Steph and Ayesha Curry were recently guests on the CBS Morning Show. During the interview, the couple discussed various topics, from basketball to cooking. When the topic of golf came up, Steph said: “All you get to see is the highlights. You won’t get to see the lowlights. But it’s cool to raise awareness around the sport I love. Even Ayesha’s into it now. Even she is as obsessed with it as I am.”

Steph Curry recently made history when he won the American Century Championship.

The ACC event featured over 93 competitors, including 19 active athletes (NBA, NFL, NHL, WWE) and 17 Hall of Famers, playing 54 holes of golf.

Winning NBA Championships, writing New York Times bestselling books, and winning golf tournaments isn’t enough for the couple.

The Currys have even found time to launch their foundation, the Eat. Play. Learn Foundation. The foundation focuses on raising money for public schools in the Oakland area so that children can be provided with better facilities to learn and grow. The couple has also set a goal of raising $50,000,000 for the cause.

Mr. Curry isn’t the only NBA superstar to have a deep love for the game of golf. Basketball great Michael Jordan is known to be a golf fanatic as well. During the 2021 Ryder Cup, Jordan and Steph sat down for an interview, where his “Airness” while talking about golf said, “It is the hardest game in the world.” Steph even agreed with Michael’s analysis.

During a recent press conference at the American Century Championship tournament, Steph Curry reiterated Jordan’s point while talking about what lessened transferred well from golf to basketball. The 4-time NBA champion said, “The next shot mentality is huge. You gotta have a short memory in both basketball court and golf,” Curry also said. “You’d have to have a bit of amnesia out there.”
