He’s a two-time MVP and one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, but Stephen Curry will be swapping the NBA for the Web.com Tour when he tees it up at the Ellie Mae Classic from August 3-6.

Cole Ogden Give it to someone who can actually benefit from it; a player is grinding every day to try and get out on Tour.

Bobby Rock Not everyone in the field has to qualify. That’s what sponsor’s exemptions are for. It’s the company’s prerogativ­e.
