Tim Tebow is playing baseball. Conor McGregor is taking a shot at boxing. And now Stephen Curry, who does some amazing things on the basketball court, is going to see how he fares at professional golf.
Curry will tee it up on the Web.com Tour, the tier just below the PGA Tour, in the Ellie Mae Classic in Hayward, Calif., starting Thursday. He received a sponsor’s exemption into the event.
Curry’s handicap has been variously reported as falling somewhere between 2 and scratch. That’s good enough to destroy most recreational golfers. But professionals have handicaps that go far beyond scratch, into the plus numbers.
