Aaron Rodgers is no stranger to the spotlight, but at the recent PGA Tour Pro-Am, the New York Jets quarterback got a humbling reality check—on the golf course, he’s not the biggest name in the room.
Paired with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Rodgers enjoyed a day of golf that drew plenty of fan attention. But when a fan called out for an autograph, the 41-year-old NFL icon quickly learned who the real star was.
As Rodgers approached with pen in hand, ready to sign, the fan politely corrected him—they only wanted an autograph from Scheffler. Ouch.
Rather than being offended, Rodgers laughed off the moment, graciously gesturing toward Scheffler and helping the fan get the signature they actually wanted.
For a player used to being the main attraction in football stadiums, the encounter was a reminder that golf fans have their own idols—and he’s not one of them.
Rodgers’ Future: Will He Return to the NFL or Trade the Gridiron for the Green?
While Rodgers was all smiles at the Pro-Am, his football future remains one of the biggest mysteries of the offseason.
Coming off a brutal injury that derailed the Jets’ season, the four-time MVP is now at a crossroads.
- Will he return to the NFL?
- Will he retire and pursue other passions, like golf?
- Is he willing to endure another grueling season with the struggling Jets?
Rodgers has openly expressed frustration with the team’s performance, and some insiders believe he’s seriously considering walking away from the game.
But one thing is clear: If he decides to retire, golf may be calling his name.
Could Golf Be Rodgers’ Next Chapter?
Rodgers’ love for golf is no secret—he has played in numerous celebrity tournaments and is known to take his game seriously.
While he may not be signing autographs at PGA Tour events anytime soon, don’t be surprised if Rodgers spends more time on the course post-NFL.
For now, his decision looms large, but if he does step away from football, don’t be shocked to see him making more Pro-Am appearances—just with a little less fanfare.
