Eli Manning pranks Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler at FedEx St. Jude golf

Posted on

Many of the best golfers in the world are gathered in Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Before teeing off, Eli Manning made them some of the most unsuspecting golfers in the world.

The two-time Super Bowl champion went incognito as “Del Iveryman” — FedEx courier, a volunteer “Hush Y’all” paddle waver and security guard before the FedEx Cup playoff event teed off on Aug. 7, playing pranks on the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas.

“I’m a FedEx courier for my real job. I always deliver — especially against the Patriots,” Manning cracks in a video posted on FedEx St. Jude Championship social media channels.

The joke prompted laughter from Keegan Bradley, who was nearby and told Manning he didn’t recognize him.

In one scene, Manning approaches Fowler on the driving range at TPC Southwind.

“I have a package for a Mr. Fowler here,” he said. “Hope it’s a new driver after the last few I saw you hit.”

Tommy Fleetwood went into the third round of the tournament on Aug. 9 with a three-stroke lead over Justin Rose.
