Both Brady and Mickelson are on a bit of a hot streak right now.
Brady helped to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory in February, earning himself a seventh Super Bowl ring. Mickelson, 50, also becamethe oldest player to ever win a major, and the oldest player to win the PGA Championship this past Sunday.
Rodgers — who is engaged to actressShailene Woodley— is the reigning NFL MVP, while DeChambeau is the 2020 U.S. Open champion.
To get the rivalry going between the two teams, Brady tweeted multiple memes from a video that went viral earlier this week showing golfer Brooks Koepka become visibly frustrated with DeChambeau while he was filming an interview.
Each of them poked fun at Rodgers, with one even calling out the Packers' decision to kick a field goal while down seven points in the closing minutes of the NFC Championship Game last season.

That last meme comes amid a tumultuous relationship between Rodgers and the Packers. Earlier this week, Rodgersconfirmednot all was well with his longtime team.
“It’s just kind of about a philosophy, and maybe forgetting it is about the people that make the thing go,” he toldESPNof his grievance with the Packers. “It’s about character, it’s about culture, it’s about doing things the right way.”
