Steph Curry plans career shift to golf after NBA tenure

Summary

Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry has confirmed his intention to pivot to golf following his NBA career. During an appearance on the podcast 'Fudd Around and Find Out,' Curry expressed a goal of qualifying for the U.S. Open as an amateur. His teammate, Draymond Green, praised Curry's golf skills, suggesting a realistic chance of success on the PGA Tour within three years.
