Gronk ponders if Steph will turn pro after incredible ACC win originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Steph Curry’s performance during the American Century Championship was so impressive that stars from other sports are wondering if the 35-year-old can play golf professionally.
Shortly after Curry won his first ACC title, Rob Gronkowski took to Twitter and pondered if the four-time NBA champion potentially has surpassed actual professional golfers.
Add Gronkowski to the list of athletes who have been impressed by Curry’s outing at Edgewood Tahoe Resort.
After Curry nailed his second-ever hole-in-one in the seventh hole, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, among others, praised Curry’s golfing ability on social media.
Despite his strong showing throughout, Curry found himself in danger of losing the tournament heading into the 18th and final hole. However, Curry nailed a clutch putt to edge out former tennis player Mardy Fish, 75-73.
Naturally, Curry’s incredible putt to win set Sports Twitter ablaze, hence Gronkowski’s tweet.
The responses to Gronkowski’s tweet about Curry range from “Yes, he can do it with practice” to “No, being a professional golfer would be way too difficult for him.”

Still, with Curry showing how adept he is at golf, it begs the question of how dominant he can truly be if he spends more time playing golf than basketball.
Luckily for Warriors fans, Curry will be sticking to the hardwood rather than the course for the foreseeable future.
