Australian golf star Min Woo Lee has suggested he will play a round with the highest-paid NBA player before the end of 2024.
The 25-year-old hasn’t had the best season to date, having only landed a top-ten finish at the Cognizant Classic in March.
Lee came T22 at The Masters and T26 at the PGA Championship, but for a player of his calibre, it’s hardly much to shout home about.
Despite his indifferent form, the Aussie has his sights set on a round with one of the biggest sports stars on the planet.

Speaking to golf journalist Dan Rapaport, Lee has revealed his desire to play a round with the NBA’s highest-paid superstar, Steph Curry.
The 25-year-old explained: “Steph Curry [favourite athlete outside of golf]. Yeah, he’s big basketball guy, I really like Steph; he plays golf, and we talk now and then. I haven’t played with him, but it will happen before the end of the year.”
Min Woo Lee and Steph Curry; the crossover nobody expected
It feels like only a matter of time before Lee and Curry take to the course together.
During the PGA Championship at Valhalla, the Aussie made three hole outs during his second round. After his final chip-in of the day, Lee produced a celebration straight out of Curry’s playbook – and the NBA star was quick to respond.
After his round, Lee posted a picture of himself on Instagram with the caption, “Did I do it right, Stephen Curry?”
Curry responded: “A+ for effort, but you do what you want when you hole out 3 times in a round.”
Curry, currently the highest-paid player in the NBA [Front Office Sports], will no doubt be spotted on the course with the Aussie in the coming months.
