Well, I guess Tom Brady is just the G.O.A.T. at football.
Sports fans finally got some respite from a sport less world created courtesy of COVID-19 in the form of golf. But it wasn’t a typical golf event, as Brady teamed up with Phil Mickelson while their respective rivals, Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods, faced off against them.
Normally, we wouldn’t highlight a moment when one of Michigan’s most prolific stars has a rare moment of playing not so well on the national stage. However, given that it’s golf and not football, we were certainly able to find the humor in the situation. Especially given that it’s a charitable event that’s raising $10 million for COVID-19 relief.

We are moments away from Phil explaining in great detail why he is hitting a shot while hanging upside down from this particular tree branch.

Probably a good thing Brady's mic isn't working.

“Tom, are you sure you’re not left handed?” – Phil probably. https://t.co/p0Elyrqk6Q

Anyone who has ever played golf knows exactly how Tom Brady feels right now. Except, he’s doing it on national TV in a rainstorm with Tiger and Phil in his group. #TheMatch2

So far Tom Brady is playing golf the way I figure Jarrett Stidham will play quarterback next year trying to replace Tom Brady.

The “Tom Brady isn’t relatable” crowd is going to have a tough time today, huh?

They should make an entire series of Tom Brady being bad at stuff, just to make us all feel better.

It is so satisfying watching Tom Brady and Peyton Manning search for their balls in the sand. Quick reminder that they’re human. Also, golf is hard.

So, at last, we can finally say: Tom Brady — mortal, just like us. At least at one very specific thing.
Nonetheless, while many have their laughs, it’s all in good fun and for a good cause.
