Steph Curry found himself on the losing end of a viral golf showdown—and not even his basketball skills could save him.

Curry was caught live by streamer Gabby “Golf Girl” DeGasperis during a friendly celebrity match, and when he lost, he quickly owned up to it.

“I am at the golf course and I lost a bet and I had to pay it up and you’re the most amazing teammate that anybody could have. So, I figured you come and help me out. I’m here with Gabby Golf Girl.”

— Steph Curry

He wasn’t done joking around. Pulling Booker into the fun, he added:

“I was gonna have her caddy for me with like the biggest heaviest tour bag you’ve ever seen in your life. But I lost and now she is going to get to play against you.” — Steph Curry


Steph Curry talks to the media Friday after taking the lead with 27 points in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe.

The clip blew up online fast. Curry, known for his slick on-court style, looked equally comfortable mixing humor into the golf world—especially when humble enough to ring up Devin Booker for backup.

But Curry’s antics aren’t all just laughs. He’s also been working the competitive side—draining deep 3-point strokes on the tee at Lake Tahoe’s American Century Championship. He’s tied for a top spot among celebs, backed by caddy Jason Richards and coach Alex Riggs.

Plus, fans were buzzing when he pulled off a no-look backward basketball shot—only to crush it between the hoop and backboard. It didn’t count, but the crowd loved it.

So yeah, the golfing jokes are fun—but Curry’s staying sharp, both on the green and across the hardwood-style trick plays. Booker’s about to get an unexpected partner-in-crime, and we can’t wait to see what kind of friendly chaos that match brings.
