KPMG joins forces with Stephen Curry as the UNDERRATED Golf Tour’s Title Sponsor

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(San Francisco, CA – March 31, 2023) – Today, Stephen Curry’s UNDERRATED Golf program announced KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax and advisory firm, as title sponsor in an effort to advance equity, access and opportunity for underrepresented and underrated youth in the sport of golf. KPMG will bring a multitude of new offerings to enhance the tour, including a mentoring and leadership development program for the participating youth.

“KPMG’s sponsorship of UNDERRATED Golf further exemplifies our focus on advancing diversity, equity and inclusion within our firm and the broader marketplace,” said KPMG U.S. Chair and CEO Paul Knopp. “We look forward to working with Stephen Curry, Mariah Stackhouse and the UNDERRATED Golf team to positively impact the diversity pipeline in golf and empower young athletes as leaders both on and off the course through meaningful leadership development and mentorship opportunities.”

Additionally, LPGA Tour player and KPMG brand ambassador Mariah Stackhouse will serve as an UNDERRATED Golf brand ambassador starting in the 2023 season, where she’ll host the newly minted “KPMG Leadership Day” to take place at the season-ending Curry Cup.

“After attending the inaugural Curry Cup last summer and seeing that UNDERRATED Golf’s mission aligned perfectly with two of my passions – increasing the representation of diverse talent in the sport of golf and empowering young athletes as leaders off the course – I knew that I wanted to get involved,” said Stackhouse. “I also recognized that, after working with KPMG for almost 7 years, they too shared the same authentic commitment to this mission, so I facilitated an introduction. I am thrilled that these two best-in-class organizations have come together, and I am honored to serve as UNDERRATED Golf’s ambassador alongside Stephen Curry.”

At each UNDERRATED Golf presented by KPMG tour stop, 60 athletes will participate in tournament style events and team-building activities while simultaneously networking with college golf coaches and golf executives. Ultimately, 24 best boys and girls will emerge from the tour to compete at the season-ending Curry Cup. The tour will give many young golfers their first opportunity to play at prestigious courses, with four tour stops across the country including:
