Steph Curry and Mardy Fish will be back at Lake Tahoe next week, where onlookers will hope for a rematch of their epic 2023 showdown in the American Century Championship.
Curry, the Warriors’ two-time MVP, nailed an 18-foot putt to beat Fish, the former tennis star, on the final hole two years ago for his first win at Edgewood Tahoe Resort. Last year while Curry was at Team USA camp preparing to lead the Americans to Olympic gold in Paris, Fish won.
The pair are co-favorites at +240 in opening odds released by the tournament and Caesars Sportsbook on Tuesday.
Fish is a two-time winner of the tournament, having also won in 2020. Dallas Cowboys quarterback-turned-CBS analyst Tony Romo (+450) is a three-time winner in the field, as is former A’s ace Mark Mulder (+650).
Former Sharks captain Joe Pavelski is a 3-to-1 pick just behind Curry and Fish. He has been in the mix for several titles, including a second-place finish last year, but has never won the tournament.
Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz and women’s golf legend Annika Sorenstam round out the top group at +550 and +650, respectively.
Curry’s father Dell (125-to-1) and brother Seth (350-to-1) will return to the tournament again after representing the family without the Warriors star last year. Seth is an unrestricted free agent this summer after playing last year for the Hornets in Charlotte, where Dell is a TV color analyst.
Other notable Bay Area-tied athletes competing include former Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers (40-to-1), 49ers tight end George Kittle (250-to-1) and former Raider Derek Carr (85-to-1), who retired this offseason.
