While NFL future remains uncertain, Aaron Rodgers quietly backs golfers through Venmo transactions

While the NFL world eagerly awaits Aaron Rodgers' next move, the former New York Jets and Green Bay Packers quarterback has been making an impact in an entirely different sport—golf. At 41, Rodgers is not only a passionate golfer but also a silent benefactor for aspiring professionals in the sport.

Aaron Rodgers’ contributions to the golfing community have largely gone unnoticed—until now. According to Ryan French, a well-known social media figure who manages the 'Monday Q Info' page, Rodgers has been quietly assisting young golfers financially. French, who raises funds for struggling players, recently revealed on the GOLF Subpar podcast that the four-time NFL MVP has been one of his biggest donors in recent years.

“Aaron has been super good behind the scenes to me,” French said, emphasizing how Rodgers has actively supported his fundraising efforts. Initially, French was skeptical when he noticed an account under Rodgers' name during a golf tournament livestream. Assuming it to be fake, he was later surprised when the NFL star personally reached out just a few weeks later.
Since then, Rodgers has consistently contributed, reaching out to French whenever a golfer needed financial aid.
“He’s been super nice,” French added. “He wants to keep this on the down low, so now I’m going to tell it on the pod. I’ve tried my best to help players, or if they get their car stolen or need money, whatever, and he’ll just message me and be like, ‘Hey, is this a good dude or a good player?’ And I’d be like, yeah. And he would either Venmo me money and I then would Venmo the player or he would do it anonymously on GoFundMe.”

Rodgers’ love for golf has been well-documented. His victory at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am showcased his skills on the course, but his dedication extends beyond personal achievements. His generosity towards young golfers highlights a deeper appreciation for the sport and a desire to uplift those striving to make it professionally.
While Rodgers continues to weigh his options regarding his NFL future, his philanthropic efforts in golf suggest that his impact reaches beyond the football field. His short-lived stint with the Jets ended in disappointment, as a season-ending injury derailed his much-anticipated debut. With the Jets struggling to a 5-12 record, the team ultimately decided to part ways with the veteran quarterback, making him a free agent.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his NFL career, Rodgers remains active in the sports community in ways few expected. His quiet contributions to golf underscore his commitment to helping others succeed—a rare and admirable quality in the world of professional sports. Whether he returns to the gridiron or not, his influence continues to be felt in unexpected yet meaningful ways.
