Of the coming experience, Phelps released a statement saying: 

“I have traveled the world through swimming, but really haven’t had an opportunity to experience the world through my travels. As I enter this next chapter of my life, I think I will be able to shift my competitiveness to anything I put my mind to and golf is one of the things I want to focus on.”

The reality TV show is set to debut in February of 2013. The best part of it all is that Phelps will be trained by Tiger Wood’s ex-coach.
