Stephen Curry


Recommended Posts

Stephen Curry to play in the Web.com tour event in the Ellie Mae Classic.  

 

http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/curry-ellie-mae-classic-20170628

 

Seems like people are split on their thoughts about this.  It has the opportunity to grow the game, Stephen has a lot of fans out there and is a pretty good golfer.  What do you think?

I don't understand exemptions, so not sure what info is correct. If he is taking a spot from a guy trying to make a living, I'm against it. I'm against it if in anyway his entrance could have an affect on a player making money. If his entrance has no affect, I'm all for it.

I think the argument can be made that having a guy like Curry play in this tournament will create more money and opportunities for pro golfers in the long term

Also, this is a local tournament that benefits a charity run by the Warriors, his team. Lots of good tie ins here.

I think it's great. Could bring some new fans to the sport and he's a good golfer so he will hopefully do well. Hard to argue it's going to hurt to have him playing in it even if he does have a poor showing.

Not sure if anyone saw his Ferhety episode but he definitely has a passion for golf and it was a pretty good episode as well.

We went to a Champions Tour event at Sugarloaf in Atlanta a few weeks back. It had John Smotz, Tom Glavine, & Kevin Butler playing in it. It was cool to watch a couple of past Braves players and a Georgia Bulldogs kicker for a few holes. They had game too, especially Smotz!

I'm all for it. Curry and his family get SO much publicity and they have such a huge following that I think this is the best exposure possible. What would make it better is if he ended up winning the event, now THAT I would love to see

My opinion is that it can only be good for the game. I do see the point of taking a spot of a pro. Curry playing can only help put golf in front of fans and kids that may not be exposed to what a great game it is. Getting the youth into and involved in the game is the future. Will be a great draw for the tournament and bring in extra money for the charity. Other than your die hard golf fan not many casual or new fans are going to web.com events. Will be interesting to see how he does.

I think it's just unfair for the guys going out and trying to make a living. He already has an extremely high paying job. I mean, just stick to basketball. Instead, he's stealing the spotlight from the guys who actually deserve it.

It's a sponsor exemption, so they can invite anyone they want.  I'm sure he will be a big draw and great for the charity.  My question is Will he be playing as a pro or amateur?

 

When will Tony Romo make his debut?

I heard he will be playing as an amateur.

I think it can only help bring more exposure to the game, seeing young superstar athletes play golf and respect the game can only help

I'm excited for him to play. The guy's got game and he'll draw crowds. Even if it puts an actual Web.com player out for a week, it's still one guy for one week. And if this supposed player is so bad that he won't have a spot because of Curry then the decision will probably have little bearing on his career trajectory - at least this season.

The guy sitting out for Steph wouldn't have the opportunity to earn money if it weren't for sponsors. When the money says they want Steph to play, you let Steph play. He's also playing for charity so it's a bigger bonus from a PR standpoint.

Look at it this way...  A guy that probably nobody knows gets an exemption.  He needs that exemption because he didn't qualify by other means.  Getting the exemption might only benefit him, if he makes the cut.  By giving the exemption to Curry, he attracts large crowds and people will follow him.  More tickets are sold, and that benefits the charities supporting kids in the Bay area.  I think the sponsor has their priorities right.

Curry shoots 74 in round 1, not bad for a basketball player  :D

 

The crowd around him was pretty crazy. Hopefully now people will understand why he was given the spot..

Yep it's not bad at all until you look at the fact that only 9 out of the 155 players in the field shot worse than 74

I doubt 9 of the players in the field could play in the NBA D-league

Very true, but I doubt they would try

 

It doesn't bother me that they gave him a spot, it sells tickets and creates excitement for a Web.com event......I was just saying his 74 isn't as impressive when you look at the rest of the scores.
