Quest for Stephen Curry's Underrated Cup
The quest for the 2023 Curry Cup started at The Park at West Palm Beach.
The Park hosted the first of five national youth golf tournaments in the 2023 Underrated Golf Tour, an AJGA (American Junior Golf Association)-accredited tour on June 25-27, 2023. Conceived and created by NBA star Stephen Curry, the tour brings together junior golfers from diverse backgrounds.
One of The Park’s fundamental goals is to introduce and teach young players the game of golf. The Underrated Tour fits that vision. The tour also includes stops at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH, Paiute Golf Resort in Las Vegas, NV, Chambers Bay in Tacoma, WA and winds up August 20-23, 2023 at the Lake Merced Country Club in San Francisco, CA. The tour brings together more than 90 of the world’s top junior players for each of the three-day tournaments.
