Aaron Rodgers drained a hole-in-one during his first round of golf since Achilles surgery in September, and one WFAN host is calling it fake news.
Rodgers loves to entertain conspiracy theories, but he doesn’t love seeing his name become the focal point of one. Unfortunately for Rodgers, he’s dealing with the latter again amid doubts about his latest athletic feat.
With his protégé Jordan Love, leading his former team, the Green Bay Packers, into the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs last weekend, Rodgers was teeing it up a golf ball for the first time since tearing his Achilles at the start of the NFL season. And on the 17th hole at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Rodgers sank a hole-in-one. That is if you believe the videos he shared on Instagram .
WFAN’s Shaun Morash does not.
“I think there’s a 95 percent chance he pretended he got a hole-in-one, and the other five percent chance is – based on the picture of the tee heading towards the hole – that this is a par three course and it’s kind of a fugazi hole-in-one,” Morash said this week during WFAN’s afternoon show with hosts Tiki Barber and Evan Roberts.
