Scottie Scheffler couldn't contain himself after Peyton Manning's tee shot struck house
Peyton Manning wasn't always this inaccurate. During Workday's Golden Bear Pro-Am event during the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio, the NFL legend's tee shot on the first hole veered way off course — so off course that Manning's ball struck a nearby house. Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 golfer according to the PGA rankings, witnessed the ordeal and couldn't contain his laughter as a result of the incident. Advertisement In the video, Manning is seen shouting 'Fore!' multiple times before the ball makes contact with the house with a loud bang, prompting Scheffler to keel over in laughter. Scheffler was heard saying, 'Good morning, sir,' as Manning backed up from the tee, laughing at his dubious swing. Advertisement Scheffler, 28, placed fourth overall in The Masters in April and ended up winning his third major championship title after shooting 11-under at the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club earlier this month.

Peyton Manning hit a house with his tee shot and Scottie Scheffler couldn't stop from laughing
Peyton Manning has endeared himself to fans across sports and pop culture with his willingness to make fun of himself and not take himself too seriously. But the Hall of Fame quarterback also shows his fallibility in unscripted moments, as demonstrated by a tee shot he took while playing in the Memorial Tournament pro-am in Dublin, Ohio. Anyone would probably look bad while paired with Scottie Scheffler, ranked No. 1 in the world and the recent PGA Championship winner. Even someone who's won two Super Bowl championships and five NFL MVP awards. Advertisement Playing with Scheffer on Wednesday, Manning showed that he's probably still very good at football but maybe not so much at golf. Or perhaps he was intimidated by the two-time Masters champion standing behind him as he teed off. Regardless of the reason, Manning knew immediately after swinging that his shot was in trouble, yelling "fore" a couple of times before we hear why he was justifiably concerned. The next sound heard on the video recorded is of Manning's ball hitting a house — loudly. Maybe it was the siding of the house that made such a resonant sound, but it sounded as if something had exploded. Without knowing exactly what the result was, it was enough to make Scheffler bend over in laughter. He acknowledged the huge noise by saying "Good morning, sir," then added "That's too much." Advertisement Maybe Scheffler just knew that Manning was embarrassed by hitting a house. Try to avoid hitting that rather large structure to the side of the fairway. Or perhaps Manning did actually cause some notable damage, which is why he began slowly stepping backward, as if he was Homer Simpson backing into the bushes in that famous meme. No word on whether or not any of the other celebrities playing in the pro-am — including Steph Curry, Nick Saban, Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Day and Luke Bryan — also launched a golf ball into nearby houses. Or perhaps they just didn't have anyone nearby recording video when they teed off. Advertisement Yet it may not have been nearly as funny if those guys had shanked an embarrassing shot, especially without the best golfer in the world in the background laughing at the result. Neither of those celebrities would also have been taunted by their younger brother on social media. Eli Manning wasn't going to let such an opportunity go by without comment. "I'm so proud," Eli said, likely echoing the sentiments of many who watched that video.

Colts legend Peyton Manning tees off, hits a house. Watch Scottie Scheffler's reaction
Peyton Manning gave three-time major champion Scottie Scheffler a good laugh after Manning's tee shot hit a house on May 28. The Indianapolis Colts legend was paired with Scheffler in the Golden Bear Pro-Am ahead of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Manning's tee shot didn't exactly go where it was supposed to. In a video, Manning immediately shouts, "fore, fore!" A bang can be heard off-screen. That noise was Manning's ball hitting a house. Scheffler, who won the 2025 PGA Championship earlier in the month, doubled over laughing.

Scottie Scheffler lost it when Peyton Manning drilled a house with his tee shot
Scottie Scheffler lost it when Peyton Manning drilled a house with his tee shot Scottie Scheffler and Peyton Manning are two of the greatest athletes of all time at their respective sports, but it doesn't seem that those skills necessarily translate across sports. The three-time major champion and NFL Hall of Famer were paired up in the Golden Bear Pro-Am on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, and Manning's performance more closely resembled a casual player at the municipal course than the reigning PGA champion he was paired with. One of Manning's tee shots went particularly viral for all the wrong reasons. In the video, Manning shouts "Fore!" immediately after making contact, which is quickly followed by a loud crashing sound. His errant shot struck a house, much to the enjoyment of Scheffler, who doubled over laughing. Manning was a good sport about it, though, jokingly shouting "Good morning, sir!" to the homeowner. "That's too much," Scheffler said. Don't worry, Peyton. We've all been there. That is, except for the part where the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world was looking over our shoulders when we shanked a tee shot.

Remembering Demaryius Thomas' best moments with the Broncos
After the Denver Broncos announced Demaryius Thomas' election to the team's Ring of Fame on Tuesday, we take a look back at five of the best moments (plus two personal honorable mentions!) from the career and life of DT. 5. 4th and 1 (@ Detroit; Week 3, 2015) This play against the Detroit Lions showed Thomas' ability to go one-on-one against great cornerbacks. Hall of Famer Peyton Manning threw the ball up on 4th-and-1, and Thomas went to go up and get it and then had the wherewithal to turn and go the rest of the way, en route to a Broncos win. 4. Revenge (DT hauls in two TDs; 2013 season opener) After one of the most heartbreaking losses in the history of the Broncos against the Baltimore Ravens in the 2012 playoffs, Denver wanted revenge on the defending Super Bowl champions. The Broncos began their historic offensive campaign in 2013 with a bang. Manning threw (and tied an NFL record with) seven touchdown passes in a 49-27 smackdown of the Ravens. Thomas was on the receiving end of two of those scores, vanquishing the demons from the year prior. 3. Thomas' one-handed grab vs. Chiefs OBJ or DT? Against the Kansas City Chiefs, Manning lobbed a pass high into the back of the end zone, where Thomas made a one-handed stab before tapping both his feet for a touchdown. 2. Thomas and history After Thomas's heroic effort in the 2011 playoffs, the "changing of the guard" happened in Denver, and the quarterback reins were handed to Manning. In Manning's Broncos debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Thomas caught Manning's first Denver touchdown pass, a bubble screen that exhibited Thomas's speed and breakaway ability in traffic (see 10:16 mark of the second video). Advertisement Before Tom Brady and Drew Brees were breaking the all-time touchdown record every week, there was Manning. In Week 7 of the 2014 season, Manning broke the all-time passing touchdown record, stealing the record from Hall of Famer Brett Favre; Touchdown Nos. 509 (the record-breaker) and 510 went to Demaryius Thomas against the San Francisco 49ers. 1. Overtime This list wouldn't be complete without Thomas's signature moment, which came during the AFC wild card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Overtime rules changed prior to the 2011 playoffs, where before, if a team kicked a field goal, it was a sudden-death win. Under the new rules, if the first team to possess the ball kicked a field goal, the opponent would have a chance to tie or win the game. However, if the first team to possess the ball scored a touchdown, the game would end. Advertisement The Broncos won the overtime coin toss, and Denver took possession on their own 20. On the first play of overtime, quarterback Tim Tebow faked a handoff and threw to a streaking Thomas downfield, where he stiff-armed two Steelers on his 80-yard gallop. This would be Thomas's signature career moment. Honorable mention 1: Denver's heartfelt tribute to DT Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports It's always strange to write about players like this, deceased players who you grow up rooting for. Demaryius Thomas is one of those players for me; someone I cheered for, celebrated and ultimately, remembered when he died. As many Broncos fans may remember, we lost Thomas way too soon, at the age of 33. I was newly married at the time when DT passed at his home in Georgia. The Broncos' next home game after Thomas' death was against the Detroit Lions. My wife, who had just begun her journey in life married to a rabid Denver Broncos fan, had no idea why this game was so emotional to me. The Broncos and the city of Denver showed up in an incredible way to honor Thomas; his number was painted on the sideline, the team (and several players across the league, such as DeAndre Hopkins) wore 88 stickers on their helmets, and 88 jerseys were everywhere throughout Mile High. At the beginning of the game, Denver took a delay of game penalty, where wide receiver Courtland Sutton stayed on the sideline. Detroit declined the penalty, and Sutton took his place where Thomas was supposed to line up. Late in the game, then-safety Justin Simmons intercepted a Lions pass and went right to the 88 on the sideline. It was just one of many heartfelt tributes to a man that meant so much more than football in the eyes of a city that loved him as much as he loved us. Honorable mention 2: Thomas' competitive side I was 13 years old during the miraculous autumn of 2011 that Broncos fans came to know as "Tebowmania." The Broncos came from behind in nearly every game, no matter how big the deficit. Then-quarterback Tim Tebow had probably his toughest test yet against the Chicago Bears that fall. Early in the game, Thomas had dropped what was sure to be a wide-open touchdown, and the Broncos went to the sideline without scoring. I remember Thomas on the sideline, where he was distraught. Not known to us during the game, Tebow was mic'd up. Tebow came over, put his arm around DT, and encouraged him: "Hey, guess what," said Tebow to Thomas, "you're about to go out there and catch the game-winner here in a minute." Advertisement Later in the game, with 2:08 on the clock, Thomas caught a touchdown that pulled the Broncos to within three at 10-7. Through a miraculous turn of events, the Broncos tied the game, went into overtime, got the Bears to turn the ball over, and won the game, 13-10. That always spoke to me, as the type of competitor DT was. Thomas came back from dropping a potential go-ahead touchdown to catching a touchdown that got Denver back in the game. Thomas was a beloved athlete and community leader in the Denver area. We will not soon forget his always-smiling face, and the impact he had on and off the field.
