Peyton Manning is living his best life since retiring from football in 2015. Most recently, Manning was found golfing with Tiger Woods in this week's tournament.
Both Manning and Woods are and were legendary athletes in their respective sports. Of course, Manning retired a few years ago after capping off a Hall of Fame-worthy career in the NFL.
Manning began his career with the Indianapolis Colts where he would play for his first 13 seasons in the NFL. In Indianapolis, Manning helped turn a place known for racing into a football community.
The legendary signal caller helped the Colts win a Super Bowl in 2006, Manning's first Super Bowl victory. The Colts quarterback would try to win another one with the Colts, but it kept eluding him.
Then, a tragedy occurred when Manning suffered a neck injury that would keep him out of the 2011 season. This was a feeling that Tiger Woods could relate to as neck and back injuries have slowed down one of the best golfers in history.
Then, in 2012, Peyton Manning landed with the Denver Broncos. In his second season with Denver, he would break NFL records, throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards. Not too bad for a guy who was nearly out of the NFL after a serious neck injury just two years prior.
Now for Woods, he recently won his fifth Masters Tournament. The golfer had made a huge comeback this year and it's ironic that he finds himself playing with someone who can relate to his situation as Manning can. Both are legends in their own right, but are connected in different ways, with golf being a way for them to connect.
