We already were big Steph Curry fans. Now he’s taking it to another level.
If you didn’t see it, during the Warriors’ big win over Milwaukee in early March—a 125-90 drubbing—Curry made a huge early 3-pointer from ‘way downtown.’
That was great, but what we loved even more was how he celebrated it—by getting into a golf stance and taking a swing to signify he nailed it.
In another great move, Curry will receive the Charlie Sifford Award presented by Southern Company, which honors recipients for their spirit in advancing diversity in golf.
Curry will be presented with the award June 10 at the World Golf Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony presented by CME Group during the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. The Charlie Sifford Award was created in 2021 to honor an individual who personifies Sifford’s groundbreaking achievements through perseverance, confidence, respect and adaptability. Sifford was the first African American to play on the PGA Tour.
“I’m incredibly honored to be chosen as the recipient of this year’s Charlie Sifford Award and am grateful to the World Golf Hall of Fame for the recognition in this sport that I am so passionate about,” Curry said. “I believe that we have the opportunity to grow the game of golf by providing equity, access and opportunity to young golfers who have that same passion, dedication and determination as so many of us out on the green.”
