Tom Brady was roasted like crazy on Twitter after his golf game looked pretty brutal early on at Capital One’s The Match. Brady and Phil Mickelson are taking on Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning in the charity match at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, FL.
Here’s an example of how Brady looked on the golf course through six holes:

And an example of the jokes, with this one coming from New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton about the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback:
I'm liking this Florida @TomBrady right now. #TNT

Then came the seventh hole. TNT’s Charles Barkley also roasted Brady’s golfing while talking to the quarterback, and was quickly reminded why you don’t talk trash to the greatest athletes of all-time.
The six-time Super Bowl champion holed out this insane shot for birdie, and told Barkley, “Take a suck of that, Chuck.”
And then Tom Brady does that.
Apparently he just needed some motivation from Charles Barkley. #TheMatch pic.twitter.com/LLASJoPY9l

While Brady was struggling, four-time major champion Brooks Koepka tweeted that he would donate $100,000 through the Brooks Koepka Charity Foundation if Brady made a part on the front nine.
I’ll donate 100k through the @bkcharityfund if @TomBrady makes a par on the front 9 #TheMatch #TNT

Koepka kept his promise.
That’s why you’re the 🐐 @TomBrady
Another 100k if you par one of the next 2.

As for Peyton Manning, the retired quarterback’s golf game has been impressive all day. He drained this difficult putt for birdie:
