Aaron Rodgers won the 2023 AT&T Pro-Am with his professional partner Ben Silverman. Winning a golf event is not new to the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, as he is good at the sport nearly as much as football. After winning at Pebble Beach, he is over the moon; however, the golf world doesn’t reciprocate the feeling.
The PGA Tour Pro-Am event faced many difficulties due to bad weather, making the officials cut the rounds to three. However, the hassle didn’t affect Rodgers and his teammate, as the duo scored an impressive 62-60-67 in the three rounds.

Aaron Rodgers entered the competition this week, stating his handicap score as 10. It is not the worse score for an amateur. However, according to many fans, A-Rod of the NFL is a better golfer than a 10-handicapped golfer. And when the PGA Tour posted the winner’s picture on Twitter, fans didn’t hold themselves back from sharing their honest thoughts about it.
