Aaron Rodgers Reveals the Secret Behind His Success While Taking on Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson in the Match

Green Bay Packers fans saw more of Aaron Rodgers on the golf course than on the football field for most of this offseason due to his dispute with the team’s front office. 

The quarterback who won the 2020 NFL MVP award skipped OTAs and minicamp to take a stand. And while the Packers front office was fretting over how to win back their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers himself was engrossed with his golfing exploits. 

The quarterback is an avid golfer and has often taken part in multiple charity golf tournaments. One such recent event was ‘The Match’ which saw Rodgers get paired with pro golfer Bryson DeChambeau to take on the team of Tom Brady and golfing legend Phil Mickelson. 

The match which was played out at Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, saw Rodgers and DeChambeau emerge victorious. And Rodgers recently revealed that a secret workout change might’ve helped him pip Brady and Mickelson.

While the quarterback said that it was business as usual, he did say that one particular aspect of his workout that he had tweaked. 

“I wasn’t attempting to mislead anybody, but I was on a similar workout that I’ve been on,” Rodgers said. “I probably upped the calves workout just a tad because I knew I was going against Phil. I just didn’t want to give Phil any extra ammo,” said Rodgers jokingly.

The quarterback even ensured to save a bit of trash talk for everyone involved in the game, including Tom Brady. “He’s a below-average trash-talker as was his partner, really as was my partner as well.”
