Ryan French reveals Aaron Rodgers often sends money to support struggling professional golfers, and says when Rodgers learns about an aspiring golfer who can't afford to continue competing for whatever reason, he'll privately reach out to ask whether the person is deserving of help, and if so he'll send money through Venmo or donate anonymously through GoFundMe “Yeah, probably Aaron Rodgers. Aaron has been super good behind the scenes to me. We were just talking about it before we started, but I had streamed the Scottsdale Open, which I think was the only sporting event going on in the world at the time. And you could see who came in to watch your stream, and it said Aaron Rodgers. And I was just like, ‘Oh, it’s a fake account.’” “And then maybe a couple weeks later, he messaged me, and I was like, ‘What the hell is happening?’ And so he’s been super nice. He wants to keep this on the down low, so now I’m going to tell it on the podcast. But I would put out, I’ve tried my best to help players if they get their car stolen or they need money, whatever.” “And he’d just message me and be like, ‘Hey, is this a good dude or a good player?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ And he would either Venmo me money, and then I would Venmo the player, or he would do it anonymously on GoFundMe.” “And yeah, he’s been amazingly awesome. He’s helped my foundation a few times. He’s just, again, public persona and private, think what you want about Aaron, but my experience with him has been nothing but amazing.”
