Tom Brady to join Rory McIlroy next week at Augusta National

Things really couldn’t be going better for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. He’s celebrating a fourth Super Bowl win, has Gisele Bundchen for a wife and can pretty much ride off into the sunset whenever he feels like it.

Now he has a tee time next week at Augusta National with world No. 1 Rory McIlroy. Golf Channel reports the duo will tee it up at the home of the Masters.

Given their professional precociousness, the pair should have plenty to talk about as McIlroy prepares for his first crack at the career grand slam in April.

We’re pretty sure McIlroy, who shot 1-over 73 to open the WGC-Cadillac Championship on Thursday, won’t back out on the round — unlike Phil Mickelson, who said earlier this week he bailed on a planned Augusta National practice round because he was tired.
