PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Jordan Spieth was a bit surprised when he got word Tom Brady was hanging up his cleats.
“Just because of the level that he’s still playing at,” the three-time major winner said this week of the seven-time Super Bowl winner and future inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Brady led the NFL in passing yards (5,316), completions (485), passing TDs (43), passing yards per game (312.7), and completions per game (28.5) this season.
“Just the competitiveness that he has, like I feel like he’s got to find a hobby or something because he’ll go nuts sitting still,” Spieth said. “But obviously as I’ve seen he’s voiced that his priorities are going to be with his family and obviously he’s given so much to the game.
