Tom Brady is officially calling it a career.
After 22 seasons as a quarterback in the NFL, 20 with the New England Patriots and the last two with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the future Hall of Famer and arguably the greatest to ever play the game officially retired on Tuesday.
Winless in The Match alongside Phil Mickelson on two occasions, Brady had a bit more success on the football field to the tune of seven Super Bowl titles in 10 appearances, five of which he was the game’s MVP.
Social media was flooded with praise and admiration for Brady, with a few members of the golf world chiming in.

Tom is the GOAT. It was such an honor to compete against him in Match IV. He has been an inspiration for so many across all sports and I wish Tom and his family nothing but the best. Congratulations @TomBrady on such an amazing career. Enjoy this next chapter! pic.twitter.com/KzU3Zsh5sx

When my parents bought me a @Patriots Jersey reading “Brady” on the back in 2001, I didn’t realize what that name would one day mean to the sporting world. Congratulations @TomBrady on an amazing career. Now let’s go play some golf 😎

If football really is in @TomBrady‘s rearview, he has a long, exciting career in amateur golf ahead of him. pic.twitter.com/gKMiShhs1K
