A Collection Designed with Purpose — On and Off the Course
CARLSBAD, CA — Sept 10, 2026 — VESSEL Golf and Stephen Curry announce the launch of the VESSEL x Curry Brand, a limited-edition golf bag collaboration rooted in purpose and shaped by a shared belief: what you carry should reflect what you stand for.
Available September 16, 2026 at vesselgolf.com, the collection brings together Curry’s broader mission of creating equity, access and opportunity for young athletes through The Underrated Golf Tour with VESSEL’s commitment to giving back and purpose driven craftsmanship.
The collaboration is rooted in more than design. It represents a shared investment in the future of the game — supporting programs that create opportunity where it hasn’t traditionally existed. It’s built on Stephen Curry’s broader vision for Underrated Golf: using the game to open doors, create meaningful opportunities, and support the next generation of golfers on and off the course.
As part of the collaboration, VESSEL is contributing to a scholarship fund that will support a group of Underrated Golf Tour athletes selected each year for their character, leadership and impact within their communities. That support goes directly to the athletes selected, reflecting a shared belief that golf’s impact reaches well beyond the scorecard.
Designed in collaboration with Curry, the collection reflects a refined, understated aesthetic — balancing performance materials with elevated detailing. Each piece is built with intention, from VESSEL’s tour-grade synthetic leather to performance-driven architecture, carrying forward VESSEL’s approach to form, function, and feel.
This is a relationship first. We’ve gotten to know Stephen over the years, and we see the game the same way: it should open doors for people, not close them. What he’s doing with Underrated Golf is real, giving kids who’ve been overlooked a chance to be seen. We believe in that, and this collection is our way of standing behind it. We get to build something great with people we respect, and it goes toward the next generation of the game. That’s exactly where we want to be.
Ronnie Shaw, Founder and CEO, Vessel Golf
Available in limited quantities beginning September 16, 2026 at vesselgolf.com, the collection includes the Lux Stand in Black and Navy, Player Air Navy, the PrimeX DXR Backpack, Signature Garment Duffel, Lux Golf Glove and a Magnetic Golf Towel — each designed in collaboration with Stephen Curry and built on VESSEL’s signature foundation of premium materials, precision construction, and performance-driven design.
Offered in a black-and-navy palette, each piece is finished with subtle Curry Brand detailing — a considered use of color and mark-making that adds identity without excess.

ABOUT STEPHEN CURRY
Stephen Curry’s on and off court legacy is underscored by transformation and innovation. His 16-year career in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors is marked by many firsts and incredible achievements. He was the first unanimous Most Valuable Player in NBA history, the first player to make 100 3-pointers in the NBA Finals, one of a select few to win the NBA’s MVP award two years in a row, remains the all-time leading scorer in Golden State Warriors history and holds the record for most 3-pointers made in NBA history. He is a 12-time NBA All-Star and four-time NBA Champion. In 2024, he became an Olympic Gold Medalist of the USA Basketball Men’s National Team at the Paris Olympics. In 2025, Curry added New York Times best-selling author to his resume with the release of Unanimous Publishing’s SHOT READY. Curry is CEO of Thirty Ink, a purpose-driven collective that houses all of Curry’s off-court endeavors, such as Unanimous Media, which features award-winning media projects; UNDERRATED, an inspiring lifestyle brand committed to providing equity, access and opportunity to underrepresented communities; Gentleman’s Cut, a premium fine-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey; and Eat. Learn. Play., his nonprofit with wife Ayesha dedicated to unleashing the potential of every child. In 2019, Curry committed to funding Howard University’s golf team, bringing back the team for the first time since the 1970s and helping them compete on the D-1 level for the first time in school history. Furthermore, in 2020 Curry launched Curry Brand, powered by Under Armour, with a mission to open doors for underrepresented youth and increase access for sports across the country. Curry produced and starred in SONY PICTURE ANIMATION’s animated feature film GOAT, which quickly became the #1 movie in America after its debut in February 2026 and was highly reviewed by critics and audiences alike. He also co-directed the short documentary THE BADDEST SPEECHWRITER OF ALL, which took home the Grand Jury Prize at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and was quickly acquired by Netflix. Additionally, Curry and his wife are Tony Award–nominated co-producers of the Broadway hit THE LOST BOYS, which debuted in April 2026.
