Golden State Warrior Star, Steph Curry, is recognized not just for his amazing basketball talents, but also for his passion for golf. He has played an important role in promoting the sport among young people and in making golf more accessible to them.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Steph Curry's Underrated Golf has collaborated with Hector Covarrubias, a renowned artist recognized for his bright murals that frequently portray cultural and social themes. Covarrubias' work is well-known around the world, and he has taken part in a number of international events, including the Meeting of Styles.

Steph Curry launched the Underrated Tour in 2019 as a basketball showcase for players who might not have been scouted by college coaches otherwise. A year later, he founded Underrated Golf with the goal of providing young golfers with equity, access, and opportunity.

The tour, which is available to junior golfers aged 12 to 18, consists of four regional tournaments followed by a tour championship at Lake Merced Golf Club in San Francisco, California.
