NBA icon Steph Curry and singer Luke Bryan among the stars to tee off at Memorial Pro-Am Tournament

NBA superstar Steph Curry is teeing off at the Memorial Pro-Am Tournament. For a non-golfer, Curry is fairly good at the sport and is heavily involved. As a result, he gets a fairly low handicap. Unfortunately, he's in a group with three-time major winner and world number 11 golfer Jordan Spieth and PGA Tour winner Keith Mitchell.

Despite that, the former MVP has a better shot than his father, a former NBA player and current broadcaster, and his brother Seth, an NBA player himself. They find themselves in a group with actor Chris O’Donnell, two-time major championship winner Collin Morikawa, and Tyrrell Hatton.

The tournament announced on Monday (May 29) that Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and former wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald would play as well. On Wednesday (May 31), they released more names:

• NBA player Andre Iguodala
• Country singer Luke Bryan
• Actor Josh Duhamel
• Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Steve Young
• Former NFL quarterback Alex Smith
• Former NFL offensive tackle Harris Barton
• Former Formula 1 driver and McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown

Could Steph Curry transition to golf? Experts think so

While he's not likely to leave the NBA any time soon, Steph Curry could at some point golf fairly frequently. Could he make it on the PGA Tour? It seems far-fetched, but some people believe he could.

Steph Curry plays a lot of golf

Samuel Puryear, head coach of the men’s and women’s teams at Howard University, said via SFGate:

“I think he would probably have a chance at some point to make a cut,” Puryear said about placing Curry in a professional tour. “He generates a really, really good amount of clubhead speed through the impact zone and, especially on his approach shots, he puts a lot of spin on the ball.”

Craig White, a PGA coach based in Pleasant Hill, echoed that:

“I definitely think he has the potential to make the cut. However, I think he would need a lot more reps and he would have to definitely tidy up his 100-yard-and-in game a little bit more."

Perhaps when he retires from the NBA, Steph Curry can prove them right.
