Gareth Bale and Steph Curry are linking up in golf. They’re not partnering for basketball, the sport Curry is currently playing, or soccer, the sport Bale recently retired from.

Rather, they’re joining forces to help grow golf. It’s one that neither pursued as a career, but it’s a sport they’re both passionate about nonetheless.

Underrated Golf is an organization that Curry started and it aims to bring competitive golf to diverse areas where the sport isn’t so accessible.

Now, Bale joins former Ladies European Tour player and Sky Sports presenter Henni Koyack as an ambassador.

According to Golf Monthly, Bale is honored to be a part of this organization:

“It’s an honor to join Stephen Curry and his Underrated Golf European Tour as ambassador as they expand their presence internationally this year.

I’ve admired the work the tour has done in the U.S. to grow the game of golf, a sport I love and believe in the vast opportunities it provides,” he said in a statement.

He added that it’s a passion of his to be able to influence the youth of Wales, his home country:

“My role as an ambassador allows me to fuse my enthusiasm for the sport with my passion for creating multi-faced sports opportunities for youth within Wales, and I look forward to seeing the young athletes’ skills when they step out on the greens at Walton Heath this May,” Bale added.

This is not the first time Bale has sought to bring golf to this area. He has also hosted the Gareth Bale Festival of Sport and Golf Championship, so golf is clearly something he’d like to see become much more prominent in his country. Bale will help recruit golfers to Underrated Golf’s tournaments as well as provide them with guidance.

The first tournament for Underrated Golf will be at Walton Heath. As many as 96 players from Europe will head to London to compete in the 36-hole two-day tournament.
