For Tom Brady, this will be his third appearance in Capital One’s ‘The Match’. In the last game, Professional golfer Phil Mickelson teamed up with Tom Brady. They lost to Rodgers and another professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau with a score of 3 and 2.

But, this year it will be a different story as the match is between the four NFL stars. Now as Tom and Aaron are on the same team, their side seems a bit more experienced than Allen and Patrick. 

Aaron Rodgers thinks Josh Allen performed terribly at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

On the show Inside the NBA, Rodgers said, “Look, Charles, I’ve done my scouting report and I heard that Josh was terrible in Pebble and Pat has played the last couple of years in Tahoe and hasn’t broken 80 yet. So I feel really good about our chances.

In February, Josh Allen participated in AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and is reportedly a 9.0 handicap. Also, Patrick Mahomes took part in the American Century Championship celebrity tournament last year and is a 7.7 handicap.
