Tom Brady closed out 2024 in classic fashion, spending quality time with his 17-year-old son Jack on the golf course. The seven-time Super Bowl champion shared a lighthearted moment with his eldest son, opting to ditch their shirts and embrace a casual, twinning look as they played one final round of golf to cap off the year.
A Father-Son Bond
Brady posted a snapshot on Instagram of the duo standing on a tee box against a picturesque blue sky. Both were shirtless, sporting shorts and backward caps, exuding a relaxed vibe as they gazed into the distance.
“Perfect way to end the year,” Brady captioned the image on his Instagram story.
The outing was another example of how Brady has prioritized spending time with his children since retiring from the NFL. He shares Jack with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, as well as two other children—15-year-old Benjamin and 12-year-old Vivian—with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
Golf: A New Family Tradition
Brady and Jack have frequently bonded on the golf course throughout the year. Just last week, Brady shared another moment with Jack during a golf outing, playfully teasing his son’s game.
The pair have also enjoyed other activities together, including attending a New York Knicks game courtside in November. Brady posted a selfie from the event, writing, “Luckiest dad in the world,” as they watched the Knicks defeat the Brooklyn Nets in the Emirates NBA Cup.

Brady on Parenting Challenges
While Brady often shares joyful moments with his children, he’s also been candid about the challenges of parenting. Speaking at the Fortune Global Forum in November, he acknowledged the ups and downs of fatherhood.
“Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have, and we screw up a lot—and I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent,” he admitted during the event in New York City.
Despite these struggles, Brady’s dedication to his family remains evident. His Instagram posts and public appearances highlight the deep bond he shares with his children, particularly Jack, who seems to be following in his father’s footsteps with a shared love of sports.
A Year of Transition for Brady
2024 was a year of significant change and milestones for Brady. It marked the start of his highly anticipated 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports as their lead color commentator, bringing his expertise and charisma to football fans from the booth.
In October, Brady also began his tenure as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders after receiving approval from NFL team owners—a new chapter in his post-playing career. However, the year wasn’t without its challenges. In the same month, news broke that his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, a revelation that reportedly caught Brady off guard.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As Brady transitions into his second year away from the football field, it’s clear he’s making the most of his time with family and exploring new ventures in broadcasting and team ownership. The playful golf outings with Jack and heartfelt moments with his children show a softer, more personal side of the NFL legend.
Even after retiring, Tom Brady continues to find ways to stay in the spotlight and remain connected to his fans, whether through his new career ventures or his personal life.
For Brady, the “perfect way to end the year” is a testament to his commitment to family and his ever-evolving legacy.
