The only place you’ll see four of the last five NFL MVPs competing at the same time and place this year is on a golf course.
This year’s version of The Match on Capital One will include foursome Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahoms and Josh Allen. The 12-hole show will take place on June 1 (6:30 pm ET on TNT) at Wynn Las Vegas, the only Las Vegas Strip golf course.
This will be the old guard against the youth with Brady and Rodgers against Mahoms and Allen, Turner Sports reported on Monday.
Brady and Rodgers played in The Match last year, but as rivals. They were paired with PGA Tour stars Phil Mickelson and Bryson De Chambo last July in Big Sky, Montana. Rodgers and DeChambo won the match, with Rodgers winning by making a 12-foot shot on the 16th hole.
There have been five previous editions of Capital One’s The Match, which have raised nearly $ 33 million for various charities, according to Turner Sports.
Rodgers, the two-time NFL MVP manager, and Brady have decided to continue their NFL careers this off-season after considering retirement. Brady actually withdrew from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then changed his mind until Rodgers signed a three-year, $ 150 million contract to return to the Green Bay Packers.
Rodgers is listed as a handicap 4.6 by the Wisconsin State Golf Association, and Brady reportedly had a handicap of 8.1 before last year’s game. Rodgers is also a regular participant in the American Century Championship’s celebrity golf tournament, and Mahoms took part in the event last summer.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen played in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am on the PGA Tour in February as a 9.0 handicap.
Mahomes is reported to have a 7.7 handicap, according to Golf.com.
