Peyton Manning stars in commercial for BMW Championship; will compete in pro-am

The BMW Championship will be held at the Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado this week with the top 50 professionals in the sport.

Earlier this summer, former Denver Broncos quarterbacks Peyton Manning and John Elway starred in a commercial promoting the event:

The PGA Tour’s website notes that Manning “made a hole-in-one in his first round as a Castle Pines member.” Elway is also a member at the club.

The BMW Championship has a $20 million prize and 2,000 FedExCup points on the line this week. Manning will participate in a lower-stakes pro-am on Wednesday with former teammate Brandon Stokley serving as his caddie, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Manning previously served as an honorary chair for the 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship last summer. He has competed in the “The Match,” a charity event, twice, including a victory over Tom Brady in 2020. (And he has a sweet golf cart.)

The BMW Championship will be televised on the GOLF Channel and NBC this week. Scottie Scheffler is considered the favorite to win.
