Tom Brady was having a tough round.
Paired with Phil Mickelson to take on Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning in The Match: Champions for Charity, Brady couldn’t hit a shot to save his life through the first few holes, missing badly off the tee, and not really improving from there.
The start of Brady’s round was so rough, Charles Barkley, who was commentating on the event, bet him $50,000 on one swing, which Brady would go on to shank terribly.
Chuck said he'd throw in $50K if Brady could hit the green...
Wasn't even close 😅

It's possible it was the worst performance sports fans had ever seen from Tom Brady on a Sunday.
Fans watching at home delighted in his struggles, making plenty of jokes at the expense of the six-time Super Bowl champion.

But just as the pile-on was reaching its heights, Brady hit the shot of the day, holing out from the fairway just after trading some more barbs with Barkley.
TOM BRADY. WOW.

It was the highlight of the round, and should have left Brady with bragging rights for the rest of the day. But his celebration would be shortlived, because as he went to retrieve his ball from the hole, he ripped his pants right down the seam.
Oh no, Tom 😂

And with that, Brady was the butt (pun extremely intended) of many, many more jokes.

So let me get this correct: after getting clowned about sucking at golf by Charles Barkley, Tom Brady makes an incredibly difficult shot, but rips his pants getting the ball out of the cup.
I..🤷♂️😂
