Brady will be pairing up Phil Mickelson to take on the golf course against Aaron Rodgers and Bryson DeChambeau tomorrow in a highly anticipated golfing bout. Brady has ruthlessly trolled the Packers quarterback on social media in the days leading up to the match,
As Aaron Rodgers is wearing a shirt with “I’m offended” on the front, Tom Brady trolls him by saying “I do think [Aaron] would like to go for it more.”
Rodgers responds with “I usually don’t get the option.” 😳

Tom Brady Said Michael Jordan And His Chipping And Putting Led To A Victory
Michael Jordan used to host the Michael Jordan Celebratory Invitational to raise funds for a charity Jordan supported. This tournament ran from 2001-2014.
In 2006, Brady would receive his invite. Jordan is a golf fanatic as several clips from ‘The Last Dance’ showed his fondness for the game.
As a result, Brady had the perfect golfing partner to take him through the tournament. Last year, Brady posted a throwback video about a post-match interview with CBS Boston News reporter Michael Hurley.
