Stephen Curry considers broadcasting, team ownership and PGA Tour Champions as NBA retirement inches closer.
As Stephen Curry approaches the twilight of his illustrious NBA career, the Golden State Warriors star is already mapping out his post-basketball endeavors. With a keen interest in broadcasting, team ownership, and professional golf, Curry is poised to make a significant impact beyond the hardwood.
Broadcasting Aspirations
Curry has expressed a desire to venture into broadcasting, leveraging his deep understanding of the game and charismatic presence. His articulate commentary and engaging personality make him a natural fit for sports media, where he could offer insightful analysis and connect with fans in a new capacity.
Pursuit of NBA Team Ownership
Beyond broadcasting, Curry harbors ambitions of owning an NBA team. He believes his extensive experience and understanding of what it takes to build a championship organization position him well for such a role. “I think I could do a pretty good job of helping sustain how great the NBA is right now, and the things that I’ve learned over my career and what it takes to run a championship organization,” Curry stated. He remains under contract with the Warriors through the 2026-27 season, after signing a one-year, $62.6 million extension, and plans to evaluate his future upon its conclusion.
Deepening Ties with Golf
Curry’s passion for golf is well-documented, and he is actively expanding his involvement in the sport. He is set to return to the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe in July 2025, where he previously clinched a dramatic victory in 2023. His win was highlighted by an eagle on the final hole and a hole-in-one earlier in the tournament.
Further solidifying his commitment to golf, Curry co-owns the San Francisco team in the TGL (TMRW Golf League), a tech-forward, prime-time golf league developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The league aims to modernize golf by combining traditional play with high-tech elements, and Curry’s involvement underscores his dedication to innovating the sport.
Philanthropic Efforts and Youth Development
Curry’s off-court initiatives reflect his commitment to social impact. He co-founded the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation with his wife, Ayesha, focusing on improving children’s lives through nutrition, education, and physical activity. The foundation has provided millions of meals, renovated play areas, and invested in literacy programs.
In the realm of golf, Curry launched the Underrated Golf Tour to promote diversity and inclusion in the sport. The program offers competitive opportunities and mentorship for underrepresented youth, aiming to reshape the face of golf in the U.S. and Europe.
Looking Ahead
As Curry continues to excel on the basketball court, his proactive approach to life after the NBA demonstrates a multifaceted vision. Whether through broadcasting, team ownership, or advancing the game of golf, Curry is poised to leave a lasting legacy that transcends his athletic achievements.
