Winning is one thing. But dominating legends? That’s a whole different level. First, Stephen Curry was that undersized kid who changed basketball forever; and now, a golfer shaking up the entire sport. However, he isn’t doing it alone this time.

His longtime teammate and business partner Andre Iguodala is right there with him. Together, they just led The Bay Golf Club to another statement win in TGL, running Tiger Woods’ squad close to elimination. While the world was focusing on Curry’s rise in the golf world, it was Iguodala’s emotional confession that stole the show.

Andre Iguodala has always been the cool, unshakable type—the guy who never lets emotions get the best of him.

Sitting down for an interview, he let his guard down. Golf, he admitted, isn’t just a game for him. It’s a lifeline. “I was just talking to Shane Lowry’s father about how I was up at 6 a.m. watching him win The Open,” he said, his eyes lighting up. “And I was there in L.A. when Wyndham Clark won the U.S. Open. I’m just a huge golf fan.

But this wasn’t just about loving the sport—it went way deeper than that. He talked about how golf gives him a mental escape, how it forces patience, focus, and resilience—the same qualities that made him an NBA champion. For Iggy, this isn’t just a hobby. It’s therapy with a scorecard. “The momentum coming out of COVID—so many golf participants, not only on the course but recreationally. Expanding the game, it’s a beautiful thing,” he said.

And then came the real gut punch. “Wherever I can be with this game and how it’s helped me emotionally, psychologically—I would love to be there.

That’s not just passion. That’s purpose.

Curry and Iguodala’s Team Crushes Tiger Woods’ Squad

And they’re backing it up in the best way possible—by winning. Iguodala and Curry’s squad, The Bay Golf Club, isn’t just good. They’re straight-up dominating. Their latest victim? Jupiter Links, the team owned by none other than Tiger Woods.

Final score? 6-3. Another flawless performance. Another undefeated record. And the consequences? Massive. Tiger Woods’ team is now on the brink of elimination. The same guy who helped launch TGL? Yeah, now he’s looking at an early exit. Meanwhile, Curry and Iguodala’s team is sitting comfortably at the top.

This match had some extra emotion, too. Woods wasn’t there—understandably, as he’s been dealing with the heartbreaking loss of his mother. But his squad—Max Homa, Kevin Kisner, and Tom Kim—fought like anything to keep their season alive.

Didn’t matter. The Bay Golf Club was relentless. Min Woo Lee, Shane Lowry, and Wyndham Clark put on another clinic, never letting Jupiter Links catch a break. And just like that, Stephen Curry’s squad is still undefeated.

This league was supposed to be about Tiger vs. Rory, the old guard proving they still ran the show. Instead? It’s Curry’s team flipping the script.

And honestly? There’s something poetic about it. Stephen Curry changed basketball forever—made the impossible look easy, turned deep threes into layups, and completely redefined how the game is played. Now? He’s doing the exact same thing in golf. And standing right next to him is Iguodala—not just as a teammate, but as someone who gets what this game really means.

This isn’t just about putting up scores. It’s about shifting the culture—bringing new energy, new faces, and new purpose to a sport that desperately needs it.

And while Tiger and Rory are out here fighting to survive, Curry and Iguodala? They’re building something special.
