Scottie Scheffler can’t stop laughing at this disastrous tee shot from Peyton Manning
Andy Lyons
It’s not often that someone can ridicule Peyton Manning’s athletic endeavors. He threw for an NFL rookie interception record, sure, and he had his share of embarrassing moments on the gridiron. But that’s going to happen when you play 266 games over 17 seasons.
And yet, everything evens out on the golf course, as one of the most impressive athletes in all of sports history can turn into a weekend hacker just like the rest of us in the blink of an eye. It doesn’t help that No. 18 was paired with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler at the Memorial Pro-Am, a robot who's in the midst of an otherworldly golf run. It’s like having William Shakespeare look over your essay or Steven Spielberg scrolling through your camera roll.
Also, maybe don’t smoke one into a house with a three-time major winner looking over your shoulder.
Manning immediately yells “fore” a handful of times, which is never a good start. Then, we hear a bang and see Scheffler doubled over in laughter, going on to say, “Good morning, sir” and “that’s too much.”
It wasn’t the only troubling moment for Manning, with one X/Twitter user claiming that “Peyton Manning just about killed me.” We’ve seen the QB throw dart after dart, damaging his wide receivers' hands. It looks like that skill crossed over to a different sport.
The Manning Bros. have been getting into golf post their football careers, and we have no doubt that they’ll improve as Super Bowl-winning athletes are wont to do. But maybe, just maybe, you might want to stay a few feet back of a Peyton Manning drive. A house is one thing, a face is another.
