Phil Mickelson once shared his experience after teaming up with American football legend Tom Brady for the Champions for Charity match in 2020. The match-play challenge took place at the Medallist Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida.
In May 2020, four sporting legends came together to play The Match: Champions for Charity to support the COVID-19 charities. Tiger Woods, who paired up with NFL star Peyton Manning, played against the team of Phil Mickelson and then six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
The Woods-Manning pair won the charity match by one stroke after controlling their opponents' late comeback. During an interview with sports commentator Dan Patrick on his show, Mickelson spoke about playing alongside Brady.

The host asked the American golfer whether he offered any golfing lessons when the NFL star was struggling on the front nine of the match.
Answering the question, Mickelson shared:
"Tom is one of those guys that he kind of just finds a way. And if you get in his way and you give him too much thought, it will it will inhibit him from figuring it out."
Speaking about their performance, he continued:
"Obviously we played awful the first six holes, both of us. But after that we played really really well. But we played four-under-par the last 12 holes."
Reflecting on their game on back-nine, he appreciated Tom Brady's contribution:
"He really stepped it up on the on the back-nine."
Mickelson also went on to applaud the NFL stars for their enthusiasm on the golf course during his interview. The golf event reportedly raised over $20m to help the charities.
