Swimming GOAT Michael Phelps has never been known as someone who likes to restrict himself. He may have retired from professional swimming, but that does not confine him from enjoying other sports. The Olympic gold medalist is often spotted at the golf course enjoying himself.

Not just he plays the sport himself, but he also keeps himself updated with the various golfing tournaments and events. Earlier today, Michael Phelps took to his Instagram stories to congratulate golfer Tony Finau for his third title.

It was only in 2021 that he broke his drought spell by winning the Northern Trust. Since then, Tony has had a good game.

Michael and his love for golf

Recently, Phelps participated in the converted ICON series. He displayed his golfing skills alongside legends like Canelo Alvarez, Michael Strahan, Pep Guardiola, Ash Barty, Harry Kane, and Ben Roethlisberger.
