NFL superstars Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen set for golf’s The Match duel

The latest edition of The Match, which has in the past paired PGA stars with NFL talent, shifts to an all-NFL format this year, with Brady and Rodgers teaming up against Allen and Mahomes in a 12-hole event at Wynn Las Vegas.

Seven-time Super Bowl champion and three-time NFL Most Valuable Player Brady, who briefly retired before announcing a comeback for 2022 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, joins Green Bay Packers quarterback Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, after they played on opposite sides in last July’s Match.

Tom Brady has never won a The Match showdown

Rodgers and Bryson DeChambeau beat Brady and Phil Mickelson last year, dropping Brady to 0-2 in the event.

Mahomes sparked the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances after the 2019 and 2020 seasons, going 1-1, and won 2018 NFL MVP honors.

Allen has led the Buffalo Bills to three consecutive playoff trips after the club had made only one in a 19-season span.
