Tom Brady is no longer the tallest man in his family. His son, Jack, who is turning 18 on August 22, is going to have to look down when talking to the retired football star soon. On Wednesday, Tom shared a gallery of photos of them on the golf course, and the height difference did not go unnoticed.
The father-son duo stood by the side of the courts with the same closed-mouth smile. "Everything is still pretty much the same around here," the 48-year-old captioned the post. In the mix were photos of their swings, but Jack's height and jawline were getting all the attention.
"Is Jack standing on something? Besides business, lol," reads the top-liked comment by Mike Evans. "How is Jack taller than Tom??!" "Jack is way more beastly than you," and "Jack just got an offer from every power 5 school with that height and jawline combo," read some of the best comments.

According to Cleveland Clinic Health, most boys stop growing by 18, but some may continue growing into their 20s, so we might see another growth spurt for Jack.
Not only is Jack taller than Tom, but he also revealed on his 17th birthday in 2024 that he can beat him one-on-one in basketball. "Happy 17th birthday to the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful 17-year-old I know," he began. "Those are all my favorite things about you. My least favorite is that you can beat me in one-on-one now," he quipped.
What's next for Jack?

In June, Tom shared a video of Jack dunking on the family yacht and making baskets on their court at home, directly tagging the Michigan Men's Basketball team. "Future Wolverine," he wrote.
Michigan is Tom's alma mater, so of course, he wants him there. It's unclear if Jack was already in talks with the college or if Tom was gently sending a message that his son is available for recruitment.
While some fathers would be adamant about seeing their son play the same sport, Tom made it clear he was happy with whatever Jack chose to do. In 2023, he told PEOPLE he wasn't even sure if he was going to play football the following year. "To be honest, whatever he chooses, I'll be very happy," he told the outlet. "But he loves lacrosse... basketball's probably his favorite sport, but he's a very good student."
