Best golfers from other sports
We rank some of the world’s best athletes who happen to be good at golf…
Steph Curry
Sport: Basketball
Team: Golden State Warriors
Handicap: Scratch
Curry is one of, if not the best basketball players on the planet but is also a confessed golfing nut who, like Romo has aspirations of turning professional once his basketball career comes to an end.
He has tried his hand on the Web.com Tour on twice at the 2017 and 2018 Ellie Mae Classic but missed the cut on both occasions. The American shot an impressive first round of 71 in 2018 but a second round of 86 saw him finish in dead last.
Tom Irwin
Tom is a lifetime golfer, now over 30 years playing the game. 2023 marks 10 years in golf publishing and he is still holding down a + handicap at Alwoodley in Leeds. He has played over 600 golf courses, and has been a member of at least four including his first love Louth, in Lincolnshire. Tom likes unbranded clothing, natural fibres, and pencil bags. Seacroft in Lincolnshire is where it starts and ends.
