Michael Phelps has time and again shown his love for golf as he not only is an enthusiastic watcher of the sport but also an active participant.

In an interview with golf.com in January 2024, he mentioned how his workout with his trainer, Keenan Robinson, revolves solely around golf and how to enhance his mobility, movements and power in the game.

Although he has taken part in multiple amateur and pro-am golf competitions, Phelps is renowned for his participation at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 2012. At the pro-am tournament, he scripted history, setting the world record for the longest televised putt of 159 feet during his pairing with two-time Valspar Championship winner golfer Paul Casey.

He also recently featured in the WM Phoenix Open Annexus Pro-Am 2024 at TPC Scottsdale, which was canceled for the first time since 2011 due to heavy rain.
