LinksDAO is a new DAO looking to finance the purchase of a physical golf course and club by selling NFTs, blockchain-based deeds linked to digital or real assets. In this case, the NFTs represent the right to purchase actual memberships to the future country club.

And the floor price of the LinksDAO NFT collection is surging thanks to Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry.

On Monday, Curry purchased "Leisure Membership" and "LinksDAO Global Membership" NFTs for 0.29 ETH ($892.13) and 1.12 ETH ($3,442.89), respectively. Curry's purchase helped pushed the price of the Leisure Membership NFT to 0.72 ETH ($2,209.81); the Global Membership NFT most recently sold for 2 ETH ($3,111.91).

Curry is an avid golfer and serves as executive producer of the ABC miniature golf competition show “Holey Moley.” Outside of sports, Curry has also become an avid NFT collector, recently purchasing Rumble Kong League and Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs.
