DICK’S and Golf Galaxy Become the Official Sponsors of the UNDERRATED Driving Range at All Five 2026 Tour Stops
San Francisco, CA – [XXX] – UNDERRATED Golf, the junior golf development platform founded by Stephen Curry, today announced a partnership with DICK’S and Golf Galaxy that brings professional-grade equipment, expert fittings and championship access to junior golfers throughout the Tour’s 2026 season. DICK’S and Golf Galaxy become the official sponsor of the UNDERRATED Driving Range at all five UNDERRATED Golf Tour stops in 2026. The deal advances the Tour’s ongoing mission to deliver equity, access and opportunity to junior golfers from underrepresented communities.
The 2026 slate includes four U.S. regional events and the fifth annual Curry Cup, the tour’s season-ending championship, scheduled for September 2026 at the esteemed Bethpage Black in Long Island, New York.
“This is exactly the kind of partnership that advances UNDERRATED Golf’s mission,” said Jason Richards, Athletic Director of UNDERRATED. “DICK’S and Golf Galaxy share our commitment to opening the game to more young athletes, and they bring the national reach, golf expertise and professional fitting capabilities to make that commitment tangible. By putting high-quality equipment, trusted guidance and meaningful experiences directly in front of our golfers, we can help them compete with greater confidence and see a lasting future for themselves in the game.”
On the ground, the partnership brings DICK’S and Golf Galaxy’s equipment expertise directly to UNDERRATED Golf junior athletes. At the Curry Cup, Golf Galaxy fitters, joined by a special guest fitter, will operate an on-site mobile driver fitting cart at the driving range, giving VIP guests hands-on access to the brand’s fitting technology. DICK’S and Golf Galaxy will also participate in the Tour’s Curry Cup Pro-Am. The brands will welcome UNDERRATED athletes into DICK’S and Golf Galaxy stores to highlight the opportunities golf can offer on and off the course.
The collaboration also runs through the Tour’s hospitality and content programs. DICK’S and Golf Galaxy branding will appear on tee boxes and on-course stations at every UNDERRATED Golf Tour event in 2026.
Since launching in 2022, UNDERRATED Golf has grown into a global platform spanning the United States and Europe. Over four seasons the Tour has visited 16 U.S. regional stops, hosted three international events and held four Curry Cups across 13 regional host courses in the U.S. and Europe. The program has produced 94 alumni, with 83 now playing college golf and 22 competing at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Beyond competition, the Tour connects athletes to college coaches, industry leaders and mentors. It pairs elite play with leadership programming designed to develop the whole athlete on and off the course.
