Tom Brady made an announcement on his Twitter account Monday that he and Aaron Rodgers are teaming up to play Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes in Capital One’s “The Match” golf event in Las Vegas on June 1.
The match between the two legends and two of the future faces of the NFL will take place at the Wynn Golf Club, the same place Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka played in the same event last November.
This will be Allen and Mahomes' first time competing in the event. As for Brady, he is teaming up with Rodgers, a man who beat Brady, along with DeChambeau in a previous edition of The Match. Brady was teamed up with Phil Mickelson.
Brady teased "The Match" Sunday with the two wide eyes emoji, tagging Rodgers, Allen, and Mahomes.
Brady and Rodgers both have Northern California ties, as Brady hails from San Mateo and Rodgers from Chico. The banter between Allen and Mahomes should be interesting after those two dueled in a memorable 42-36 Chiefs win in the AFC Divisional Round in January.
The event is in its sixth edition and is a cool way for NFL players and golfers to compete against each other while raising money for a good cause. The proceeds from this year's match will go to Feeding America and other philanthropical organizations.
