Pat McAfee shocked a lot of his fans during his March 3 appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’. The former punter’s classic men’s tank top and gold chain were nowhere to be seen. And instead, Pat came draped in a black suit and it looked like he just attended a funeral or a fundraiser. Peyton Manning had a lot to do with that.
However, it was way more exciting than it sounds. Pat McAfee just couldn’t control the swag after returning from a golfing trip with the Manning brothers. And when he announced it to his crew, they couldn’t control their excitement, either. However, his attire and secrecy about the golf course they visited created some Augusta rumors.

The former Indianapolis Colts player was visibly over the moon after his return from the celebrity golf experience. And NFL royalty, Peyton and Eli Manning weren’t the only famous individuals on the course. However, they impressed Pat the most. McAfee was most fascinated with Peyton’s and Eli’s golfing skills.
“It was an unbelievable once-in-a-lifetime experience that I had to do. And I’m gonna tell you. Those Manning boys are good at golf. They are phenomenal. Eli’s a tall guy. This is my first time hanging around Eli for an extended period of time. He’s f—–g tall. His swing looked like a pterodactyl was swinging. Peyton dropped 3 thirty footers. Just puts. Boom, boom, boom,” McAfee recounted.

The warm weather helped. And the non-NFL celebrities added to the excitement. “There were some humans that I encountered down there that were f—-g spectacular. You’re talking about other tops of other businesses. Met a couple of country musicians. A top 5 country musician,” Pat added. The musician in question was the Texas-based country singer Parker McCollum.
Did Peyton Manning take Pat to Augusta?
McAfee couldn’t thank the 2x Super Bowl champion,, Peyton Manning and his 2x Super Bowl champion brother Eli Manning enough. “The fact that I get invited to play golf with that family again. I’m so thankful, Peyton,” McAfee continued. However, with so much secrecy around the golf course Manning and McAfee visited, fans made their guesses. And some dug deep into investigating.
I very seriously can’t imagine Peyton Manning was ever as nervous in any of his Super Bowls as he had to have been hosting Pat McAfee at Augusta National…

Playing Augusta National with the Mannings or anyone counts as 'once in a lifetime.'

“We went down to a golf course. Don’t need to talk about the name of the course,” Pat said. But almost the entire comments section agreed on the destination. Fans sounded a little jealous after the former Colts QB, Peyton Manning took his ex-teammate to the home of the annual Masters Tournament, and one of the most prestigious venues in golfing lore, the Augusta National Golf Club.

However, it was Parker McCollum’s Instagram story that ultimately gave it all away. It was definitely Augusta.
