“That is the goal” - Stephen Curry on chances of him becoming a pro at the PGA Tour Champions Tour in the future

With a handicap of +2, Stephen Curry is a fantastic golfer. Besides his outing on the basketball court, he enjoys his time playing golf. The NBA superstar is an avid golfer and has plans to join the PGA Tour Champions Tour as well.

Recently, Steph Curry popped up on the "SmartLess" podcast where he opened up about his basketball career and also spoke about his love for golf. The podcast host, Jason Bateman, suggested Curry to join the Champions Tour after turning 50.

Bateman said:

"15 more years of training, you could be unstoppable on the Champions Tour if you want to do that at 50."

Replying to the host, Curry said:

"That is the goal for sure. I know in the golf world, there's a lot of celebrity and pro-am stuff and so you can scratch the competitive itch here and there."

Curry also admitted that he not only enjoys playing golf but also loves to watch it on his TV. Adding to his statement, he said:

"I am like the basketball that I have on my phone but on TV it's a golf channel."

The PGA Tour Champions shared a post on its X account on Stephen Curry's remark on playing golf professionally in future with a caption saying:

"See you at Q-School in 2038, @StephenCurry30 via @SmartLess podcast."
