Steph Curry teaming up with Peyton Manning for ‘The Match: Champions for Change’ charity golf round

It’s official, Steph Curry will team up with Peyton Manning against Phil Mickelson and Charles Barkley for “The Match III” charity golf event.

It’s official – before the Golden State Warriors begin the new season, Steph Curry will put his basketball shoes aside for his golf clubs. The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player will join Phil Mickelson, Charles Barkley and Peyton Manning for “The Match” charity golf competition.

Golden State’s sharpshooter will team up with Manning for the match play event against the pairing of Barkley and Mickelson. Curry and Barkley are slated to replace Tom Brady and Tiger Woods in the third edition of the event. Curry and the rest of the high-profile will tee up for the event on Friday, Nov. 27, at Stone Canyon Golf Club in Oro Valley, Arizona.

After raising $20 million for COVID-19 relief efforts in May, November’s round of The Match will benefit Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). According to a press release from Turner, the proceeds from the charity will help support “diversity, equality and inclusion through donations to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).”

Capital One’s The Match: Champions for Change will uniquely contribute toward and highlight diversity, equality and inclusion through donations to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), while raising awareness and spotlighting opportunities for diversity and equality in sports.

In 2019, the Golden State point guard helped provide funding for Howard University’s first Division I golf program.

Despite Manning’s win in the Match II, Mickelson is “feeling pretty confident” with Barkley on his side.

While he’s not Woods, the five-time NBA All-Star could be a contender for first place in The Match III. In early July, Curry stamped a top-five finish in the American Century Championship celebrity tournament in Lake Tahoe.

Although it’s not a game inside San Francisco’s Chase Center, watching Curry compete against Barkley and Mickelson will give fans of the Golden State Warriors something to cheer about before the new NBA season is underway.

Steph Curry 12-1 favorite in American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament

In Steph Curry’s eighth appearance in the ACC celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, the Golden State Warriors guard is a 12-1 favorite.

Over the weekend, Stephen Curry is set to compete in the American Century Championship golf tournament. After finishing seventh with a score of 50 in the 2019 edition of the match, the Golden State Warriors point guard is coming off as a 12-1 favorite, according to William Hill Sports Book.

After winning the last two tournaments, former Dallas Cowboys’ signal-caller Tony Romo leads the board with even odds at Edgewood Resort in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Curry will compete with former big-league hurlers Mark Mulder, Derek Lowe and John Smoltz. Although Case Keenum has more considerable odds than Curry in 2020 at 30-1, the NFL quarterback finished one spot above Golden State’s two-time MVP in 2019.

A star-studded cast will join Curry on the course in Lake Tahoe. Along with boxer Canelo Alvarez, Pro Bowlers Aaron Rodgers, Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Theilen, Patrick Peterson and Cooper Kupp, Super Bowl champion and 2019 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes will make his ACC Tournament debut.

Adding to the top-flight field, Bay Area champions Jerry Rice and Steve Young will compete against Curry in the tournament.

According to Darren Rovell of the Action Network, the Warriors six-time All-Star will link up with his father Dell and Rodgers for the first round of the competition on Thursday.
