Not only is Jack inheriting his father's appearance, but it seems that he's also inherited his sporting prowess. Tom confessed that the teenager can "beat me in one on one now," as he celebrated his birthday.
The duo not only play golf together, but Jack is also following in his father's footsteps as a quarterback.
"I love watching him play quarterback because I think there's very few things in life that I could probably help him with," Tom said on his podcast. "You know, I don't have a lot of specialties in life other than probably throwing the football."
The dad recently opened up about parenthood at the 2024 Fortune Global Forum, confessing that while he may have had a successful career in sports, he's found fatherhood a lot more difficult to navigate.
"I screwed up a lot," he confessed bluntly. "All of the parents in the room know that being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have."

In the midst of his frank reflection, he revealed that his parenting goal is to be "dependable and consistent" and to encourage his kids, even if the shadow of his career looms large.
"The blessing my parents gave me was when I was that long-shot kid, a backup quarterback on a freshman team, they never said, ‘Let’s do something different.’ They just said, ‘You know what? Go for it.’ That’s probably my parenting style," Tom said.
