The Golden State Warriors failed to defend their 2022 NBA championship last season. They fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Since the Warriors’ season ended, Steph Curry has been making headlines in another sport, courtesy of his impressive golf performances during the summer.

Recently, Curry went viral for hitting his first hole-in-one during a celebrity event of “The Match,” and he participated in the ACC (American Century Championship), which he ended up winning. When speaking on a recent episode of Today’s “Sunday Sitdown,” Curry playfully credited the Lakers with his recent golfing success, noting how his season ending early allowed him to begin training sooner than planned.

“I want to thank the Los Angeles Lakers for their contributions to me winning my golf tournaments this summer because I got a four-week head start on golf training camp,” Curry said.

Curry might have found success at the ACC event, but he didn’t fare so well during his participation in “The Match.” He and Klay Thompson took on and lost to Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes.

Following his golfing success in recent weeks, Curry will likely turn his attention toward the upcoming NBA season. Golden State revamped its roster in the hope of adding both depth and high-level talent. As such, both Curry and the Warriors will have their sights firmly set on another deep playoff run.

Warriors fans hope Curry can use his recent success on a golf course to provide momentum heading into the new season.
