How good is Steph Curry at golf? Taking a closer look at NBA superstar's handicap, swing and more

Steph Curry and Klay Thompson lost to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in 'The Match' on Wednesday presented by Capitol One. Curry is a known golfer, while Thompson wasn't at his best during the game.

So, how good is the greatest shooter of all time in the green? According to the Golf Cart Report, Curry is a scratch golfer, which means he's better than most people. It's an impressive feat for a pro athlete, and he's always working on his game when not playing basketball.

The four-time NBA champion admitted in 2017 that he might try to become a professional golfer when his basketball career is over. He has a handicap of +1, which is considered great for a non-pro golfer.

"I've thought about it," Curry told the Bay Area News Group. "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."

Steph Curry started playing golf when he was ten His father, Dell Curry, played it as a hobby, and the young Curry followed quickly. He began working on his golf game as he was trying to be the best basketball player he could be.

The 34-year-old superstar developed a great swing that analysts praise for looking like a pro golfer. Craig White, a PGA coach, described Curry's swing in an interview with SF Gate last year.

"He has that natural ability that some just can't coach," White said. "He has things in his swing that from a tempo, rhythm, timing standpoint are really hard to coach, if you're able to coach at all. Some people go their whole lives not being able to get that type of rhythm."
