Current and former athletes along with actors and other famous personalities gather at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course by Lake Tahoe every year for a celebrity golf tournament. Curry is a regular participant and will play with Dell Curry and Aaron Rodgers on Friday, July 10, 3:05 PM EST (Saturday, July 11, 12:35 AM IST). Before the tournament began, Curry was seen sparring with Canelo Alvarez at the venue.

The two-time NBA MVP played only five games this NBA season as he was sidelined due to a broken hand. Curry injured himself last October while playing the Phoenix Suns, and returned in March. He played one game before the 2019-20 NBA season was suspended due to the pandemic. As the Warriors were at the bottom of the NBA table, they were not selected to travel for the NBA restart in Orlando, Florida. While recent reports suggested a second NBA bubble for the eight teams that were excluded from the Orlando restart, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr stated that Curry and the Warriors roster will opt out of the option.
