Tom Brady has participated twice already and is scheduled for a third appearance in The Match VI. Unlike his NFL career, where all he does is win, he has been unable to come away with a victory in either of his two appearances so far, each time being paired with Phil Mickelson as his teammate. Brady is hoping for a better result in round three with a new partner.

“Take a suck on that, Chuck.”
