The Golden State Warriors locked horns with the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinal series. After the intense Game 1, the Dubs are currently trailing behind the Lakers with a 1-0 tally. Amid the fierce action, a recent update regarding the “Splash Brothers” Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson left the sports fans in a frenzy. Notably, the update also included the defending NFL Champions Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. 

Several days ago, the Warriors grabbed the spotlight with their emphatic Game 7 victory against the Sacramento Kings. Especially Chef Curry’s 50-point outburst to seal the series. However, the Dubs failed to convert Game 1 against the Lakers in their favor. Hours after the loss, an update revealed that the Splash Bros take on the NFL champs in a golf battle in June 2023. 

Steph Curry & Co VS Patrick Mahomes & Co

Capital One’s The Match announced the golf game between the legendary athletes, hours after the Warriors’ frustrating Game 1 loss. They will host the exciting contest in Las Vegas on June 29 and stream it live on TNT. Interestingly, Curry and Mahomes are not new to the ‘golf battle’. They have already taken part in the previous editions of The Match. Moreover, the Dubs superstar has a habit of swinging his golf club regularly during his leisure. 

Mahomes tried his luck at the last edition of The Match against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately, the result did not go in his favor. Whereas, Curry swung his club in the 2020 edition but ended up with the same faith as Mahomes. Therefore, the upcoming face-off will be a chance at redemption for both superstars.
