Given his last name, some viewers may be asking — is Patrick Rodgers related to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers?
Is Patrick Rodgers the golfer Aaron Rodgers’ brother?
No, Patrick Rodgers isn’t related to Aaron Rodgers.
Patrick is looking to earn his first PGA Tour win, and a win at the Texas Open would help him clinch a spot in the Masters.
As for Aaron, the NFL world is waiting for his trade to be finalized. After spending his entire career with the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers spent the offseason contemplating his playing future entering the 2023 league year. After entering a “darkness retreat,” where was actually leaning towards retiring, Rodgers announced his intention to play for the New York Jets on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
While Rodgers made this announcement, the Jets and Packers need to reach an agreement on a trade package. With the NFL Draft beginning on Apr. 27, the clock is ticking, as the Jets picks next year are unlikely to be as high as this year, considering Rodgers should help them improve to a better record this upcoming season.
The final round of the Texas Open takes place on Sunday, Apr. 2 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
