Published:
Tom Brady is going to be back on the links this July.
On Wednesday, TNT announced the return of “The Match,” a four-person, two-team golf match featuring the biggest names on the PGA Tour and in the NFL. This year, Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson will team up against Aaron Rodgers and Bryson DeChambeau.
Last year, “The Match” was played in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to raise money for charity and provide some sporting event for fans after all leagues shut down for a period of time. Brady and Mickelson took on Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods.
