Football legend and two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning just joined a very exclusive club.
Manning is one of the newest members at the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club, home of The Masters.
Augusta National has traditionally cited membership as a private matter and gone to great lengths to keep its membership list, which is believed to be in the neighborhood of 300 and includes a group of some of the wealthiest and most powerful businessmen — and since 2012 women — private.
But according to sources from Sports Business Journal’s Josh Carpenter, the former New York Giants QB is the latest member of the exclusive club.

It’s also reported that Manning will join the club along with Sean McManus former chairman of CBS Sports.
Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, and Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Airlines, are other new members, according to the report.
Manning’s brother, Peyton, already is a member at Augusta National.
The Sports Business Journal noted in its story other prominent members in the sports community include NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Braves Chair & CEO Terry McGuirk, among others.
Augusta National was founded as a men’s-only club in 1932. It began hosting the Masters in 1934.
Augusta National declined comment on Manning’s membership.
