Almost all famous sports stars face the inescapable dilemma of how to balance their personal and work lives—some have just figured it out better than others. Whereas Scheffler skews far toward the family side of the spectrum, Brady seemed to prioritize his career especially during his twilight years on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Retired NFL star Tom Brady chimed in on recent comments by world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, who said family is more important to him than winning.

Brady retired "for good" in 2023 in an attempt to "recharge, rebuild" and "move on with his life" following his divorce from Bundchen. Tampa Bay went 8-9 with Brady in 2022, losing to the Dallas Cowboys, 31-14, in the wild card round.
