“Only got one option”: Stephen Curry recreates iconic Tiger Woods ‘Stinger’ shot with Andre Iguodala and Michelle Wie on 'Niiice Shot'

Stephen Curry has been an avid golfer and even made a show out of it during the off-season.

In an episode of 'Niiice Shot', the four-time NBA champion tried to replicate Tiger Woods' 'Stinger' along with former teammate Andre Iguodala and professional golfer Michelle Wie.

"We have only one option right? It gotta be the 'Stinger'," said Curry on what shot to take on a windy day on the golf course.

The stinger shot in golf involves hitting the ball with a lower trajectory and less spin. That ensures that the golf ball travels with a reduced trajectory and has a farther reach.

Tiger Woods is one of the best golfers who does this shot, and he employs it whenever he needs to control both distance and direction.

"Many has to go into that shot to execute perfectly, but that ball flight and the sound that it makes, you know, it looks cool," Curry said on hitting stingers.

Five-time LPGA Tour Major Championship winner Michelle Wie West joined Curry and Andre Iguodala on the show and hinted that she could do better than the two NBA players on hitting a golf stinger.

"Steph and Andre cannot hit a lower stinger than I can. I'm just going to say it right now," said Wie.
