Tom Brady plays in the NFL, but he is as much interested in golf. Brady loves the sport and has massively improved his golf game over the years. Talking about the golf world, The Match 5: Brooks Koepka vs Bryson DeChambeau is right around the corner, and Brady is involved in it too – not on the golf course, but off of it. 

44-year-old Brady has played more than two decades in the NFL and has nothing more to achieve. The winningest player in the league has also prior experience playing in ‘The Match,’ a golf event that is frequently held to test the competitive juices of cross-sport athletes, and also to benefit charity.

The Match 5 is all set to take place a day after Thanksgiving at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas. Both Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau are ready to go head-to-head in what will be a 12-hole event.  

A major surprise came calling when Phil Mickelson was roped in as a commentator/analyst for this event. Mickelson has his fair share of experience in this event and has a 2-2 record having played in all four editions.

What is Brady’s record in the event? 

Tom Brady has made a couple of appearances for The Match but has unfortunately lost on both occasions. The NFL icon teamed up with Phil Mickelson during both his appearances and came short.

Nonetheless, Tom Brady continues to express his involvement whenever an edition of The Match comes along. An executive producer has more work behind the scenes, and this is indeed a unique role that the seven-time Super Bowl champ has taken up this time around.
