Eli Manning FedEx Worker Prank's information along with details about PGA Tour Stars at St. Jude Championship. Eli Manning, the retired New York Giants quarterback, carried out a lighthearted prank during the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis. Manning dressed as a FedEx delivery driver and posed as a tournament volunteer, surprising several top PGA Tour players. His disguise, complete with a bucket hat, sunglasses, and a volunteer shirt, helped him blend in before he began interacting with the golfers.Manning approached golfers while claiming to be a FedEx courier. He told players, 'I'm a FedEx courier, that's my real job. Always deliver, especially against the Patriots.' The statement caught the attention of Keegan Bradley, who initially did not recognize him. Once Bradley realized who it was, he reacted with surprise, saying, 'I didn't know that was you. I was like 'who is this freak over here?' Oh my God.'
Manning also targeted Jordan Spieth during his prank. He asked to check Spieth's credential and deliberately mispronounced his name. Confused, Spieth was asked whether he was a golfer or a caddie. Spieth later explained that he only realized it was Manning after noticing his unusual attention to the credential. 'It took a second,' Spieth admitted. 'I knew once he was grabbing onto it, I knew it was something. But then I didn't really look up at all.' Manning responded by complimenting Spieth on how he handled the situation, saying he did better than expected.

He joked that it was also his practice range and commented after a poor shot, 'Ah, can't handle it. Lost some focus.'
Scheffler later admitted that he did not immediately recognize Manning. 'When he had his head down, I was like 'obviously this is a bit. I just haven't figured out what it is.' But I love that you're standing here shushing people away. It's pretty sick,' Scheffler said.Also Read: NYC Dominican Day Parade 2025: Date, start time, route map, notable attendees, street closures, safety measures and weather forecast

Soccer-Donnarumma confirms imminent departure from PSG after being axed by Luis Enrique
UDINE, Italy, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Gianluigi Donnarumma confirmed his imminent departure from Paris St Germain after he was effectively axed from the squad by manager Luis Enrique, who left the Italian keeper out of the Super Cup line-up. HT Image Donnarumma played an instrumental role in PSG's treble-winning campaign last season, helping them to finally win the Champions League for the first time. However, the 26-year-old, who joined the club in 2021, has now been left out in the cold. PSG signed French keeper Lucas Chevalier on Saturday, fuelling speculation about Donnarumma's future, and with one year left on his contract, the Italian is now set to move on. "Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team's success," Donnarumma posted on social media on Tuesday. "I am disappointed and disheartened." The keeper's omission from the PSG squad to face Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday was the main focus of the manager's press conference. "These are always hard decisions to make. I can only say good things about Gianluigi Donnarumma," Luis Enrique told reporters. "He is one of the best players in his position, without any doubt. He is even better as a person, but we were looking for a different profile of keeper. "Bearing in mind the level of Gianluigi Donnarumma and everything he has given to the club, of course we understand the situation but my aim is to improve the team and I have tried to do that in the best way possible." Italian reporters were understandably more concerned with the Donnarumma situation than with the match against Spurs, but the PSG manager soon grew tired of the subject. "No more questions on this. It is my decision, it is the club's decision and the club backs me," Luis Enrique said. "We now need to find the best solution for all parties." Donnarumma's next club has yet to be decided, and the keeper would like the chance to bid farewell to the PSG supporters. "I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done," Donnarumma wrote. "If that doesn't happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me and I will never forget it. "Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you Paris." PSG captain Marquinhos also spoke about the Donnarumma situation during his press conference. "It is always difficult. I have been here for 12 or 13 years and I have seen other players go through the same thing," the Brazilian defender said. "Life is like that and football is like that. One day I will leave as well, I hope it will be in the best possible conditions but players come and go and the club remains, the fans remain, and history remains. "We don't know if he is going to leave or stay. If he stays of course we will welcome him back with open arms. "Because what he did last season was incredible and it is thanks to him that we reached the final and we won the trophy. But if he has to leave we will thank him."

Olympic 100m champion Alfred to miss Diamond League meets
Olympic 100 metres champion Julien Alfred will miss three upcoming Diamond League meetings in August, event organisers said on Tuesday. The 24-year-old from Saint Lucia will miss the upcoming meets in Silesia, Lausanne and Brussels. She was slated to run the 100m at the Silesia Diamond League and the 200m in Lausanne.

She has clocked 10.75 seconds over 100m this season and is ranked second in the world. She last competed at the London Diamond League where she won the 200m in a personal-best 21.71.

Athletics-Duplantis defies gravity again, sets pole vault world record for 13th time
(Reuters) -Sweden's Mondo Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record with a clearance of 6.29 metres at the Hungarian Grand Prix meeting in Budapest on Tuesday, the 13th time he has set a new world mark as he continues to defy gravity. HT Image The double-Olympic champion maintained his tradition of improving on his previous record by one centimetre, with his second attempt at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial overhauling the mark he set in Stockholm in June. Duplantis had looked a little off his best form, missing his first attempt at 6.11 and, after Greece's Emmanouil Karalis retired having failed twice at the same height, the Swede had the bar raised to make his usual world record attempt. The 25-year-old twice world champion was unsuccessful on his first try and while he rattled the bar slightly on his second effort, Duplantis looked up almost in disbelief to see he had again reached a new height in the discipline he dominates. "I love Hungary very much. The track is very good, I love the crowd, I would like to return, thank you," Duplantis said. Duplantis, who won his second world title in the same stadium in 2023, ran straight to the crowd to celebrate with his partner Desire Inglander and his family. On Monday, Duplantis missed most of the press conference ahead of the Budapest meeting, apologising when he turned up late, saying he had a lot of work to do on his time management. "I think I'll have to make up for it tomorrow with a big leap," Duplantis said. He duly stayed true to his word to the delight of the Budapest crowd, and has now soared 15 centimetres higher than Sergey Bubka, who Duplantis once described as 'mythological'. The American-born Duplantis first broke the world record in 2020 in Poland, with his leap of 6.17 surpassing by one centimetre the previous record set by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie six years earlier. Lavillenie had beaten Bubka's best jump of 6.14, which had stood for almost 20 years, but Duplantis has taken the sport to another level and on Saturday competes at the Silesia Diamond League, where he also broke the world record last year.
