Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson took on the likes of Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods in a charity golf game on Sunday and it became one of the most talked-about subjects on social media. At first, Brady's golf skills were looking pretty suspect although he was able to save himself with clutch shots down the stretch. In the end, Tiger and Manning were able to win the competition and donated a lot of money to charity.
While Brady struggled to make key shots, he also appeared to struggle with his wardrobe. At one point during the match, Brady bent over to take his ball out of the cup and ended up splitting his pants right in front of the camera. The hilarious accident was heavily discussed on social media and after the event, Brady made sure to make a joke saying "Pants wanted in on social distancing I guess."
Brady shouldn't feel too bad about these unfortunate events. At the end of the day, these things happen although usually, not for millions of people to see. Either way, when it comes to his rivalry with Manning, he has 6 Super Bowls while the Colts-Broncos legend has two. Needless to say, he shouldn't worry about some damaged pants anytime soon.

“I was not comfortable the whole time but raising $20 million as people are going through such tough times, it’s something I’ll always remember and cherish.”
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson contributed to the donations, offering up 100,000 meals if anyone hit it within 12 feet off the tee on the Par 3, 16th. Three golfers were able to put the ball close enough and he ending up donating 300,000 meals.
“It’s great, the fact that we all came together and we were able to raise $20 million for those that have been so severely affected,” Woods said, Gray. “This is our arena. This is what we do. We couldn’t imagine going out onto the field and doing what they do.”
The PGA Tour is scheduled to resume June 8 with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.

Cardi B increased the hype for her next single, “Respect,” even more when she gave fans a little preview of the track at an Atlanta nightclub after teasing it on Twitter this week. While Cardi may be featured on tons of other artist’s music, it’s been a minute since she’s dropped anything of her own. Cardi has been teasing her upcoming sophomore album, the follow-up to her Grammy-winning debut, Invasion Of Privacy, for awhile now. Last month, she noted that the album is “just missing a couple of more club hits,” and on Wednesday, she shared a snippet of one such banger. Cardi posted a teaser of the project’s first single, “Respect,” and fans went crazy over the little taste of “CB2,” which might be titled Tiger Woods. Just to amp up the excitement, Cardi debuted the single in Atlanta on Saturday by having the DJ at Gold Room play a portion of the song for the clubgoers.
The moment was captured by some of those in attendance, letting us all enjoy the snippet of “Respect.” In the clips, Cardi mouths along to her work while Offset and Quavo surround her, bopping along to the music. A few weeks ago, Cardi joked that she was “pregnant with 5 hits.” Do you think “Respect” will be one of those five hits that are currently in utero?
Tiger Woods Learns Of Kobe Bryant’s Death On Golf Course: See His Reaction
“One of the most shocking, tragic days that I’ve ever been a part of" - Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods was busy yesterday trying to make his comeback at the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, but that all changed when he received some earth-shattering news that his close friend, Kobe Bryant, had suddenly passed away earlier that morning. Tiger was told of the news by his caddie Joe LaCava, live on TV after completing his round.
LaCava, knowing Woods had a close relationship with the former Lakers star, made the immediate decision not to tell him right away. LaCava said he found out the news around hole 9 but decided to wait to tell Tiger.
“I thought it would be better off not telling him,’’ LaCava told The Post. “I didn’t think he’d be to the point where he couldn’t play golf, but I figured I’d wait to the end. It was too much of distraction. I waited until we got into the tunnel on 18 [after his round was complete] to tell him, because I didn’t want the cameras on him and see the shock on his face.’’
As Woods played the back nine, fans from outside the ropes were yelling, ‘‘Do it for Mamba’’ referring to Bryant’s nickname.
“I didn’t understand why they were yelling, ‘Do it for Mamba’ on the back nine, [but] people yell things all the time, so I was just plodding along, doing my own thing,’’ Woods said. “Then when Joey told me … it’s unbelievable, the reality that he’s no longer here. One of the most shocking, tragic days that I’ve ever been a part of.
“Life is very fragile as we all know. You can be gone at any given time and we have to appreciate the moments that we have," Woods said. "I just can’t imagine what their entire family’s going through right now."
