When his name was inadvertently connected to the yearly Presidents Cup Tournament in Montreal, Stephen Curry did not hesitate to respond. Despite being a well-known golfer, Curry was not included in the competition. But one of Stephen Curry's well-known gestures has found its way onto the golf field, thanks to professional Korean golfer Si Woo Kim.

Kim and his partner, Tom Kim, faced up against golfers Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele of Team USA on the second day of the competition. Si Woo Kim made a difficult chip shot throughout the game and finished with a birdie on the sixteenth hole. The player gave a "Night-Night" sign, sprinting about and laying his head on his joined hands, as he celebrated the ball's touchdown.

The final Presidents Cup score was equal at 5-5 between the American and foreign teams going into Saturday. There were still two holes left in Kim and his South Korean partner Tom Kim's match against Team USA's Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. Kim made an incredible comeback attempt, but Cantlay put the Americans back ahead with a birdie on the par-four 18th and declared victory with a 1-up score. This is Kim's second trip to the Presidents Cup, and it's also his second time throwing a spectacular celebration after winning a hole.

The International Team rallied on Friday to equal the overall score, partly because of Kim, after Team USA dominated on Thursday to start the competition with a 5-0 advantage. Even while the Korean phenomenon may not be well-known in America, many are familiar with Stephen Curry's distinctive celebration. Thus, even though Si Woo Kim was on the other side, he managed to win over the hearts of NBA fans who witnessed the tournament's highlights. 

The famous celebration that Stephen Curry and Kim had has become well-known all across the world. Meanwhile football legend Lionel Messi made his Inter Miami MLS comeback on Saturday after missing some time with an ankle injury. Messi continued exactly where he left off, scoring two goals to help Miami defeat the Philadelphia Union 3-1. 

Messi appeared to honor Curry with his trademark night-night celebration after scoring one of his goals. During the 2024 Paris Olympics, Curry utilized the identical celebration to help Team USA defeat France and win the gold medal. Stephen Curry has previously stated that it is not advisable to do the "Night-Night" move too soon.
