Phelps is the long course world record holder in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly and 400-meter individual medley as well as the former long course world record holder in the 200-meter freestyle and 200-meter individual medley.

One week after ending his incomparable Olympic career with 22 medals, Phelps signed up as Hank Haney's latest pupil. He will be featured in "The Haney Project" on the Golf Channel, with hopes that golf that fill a competitive void.
            This isn't a second career. It doesn't sound as though Phelps will be going to Rio in 2016 when golf makes its return to the Olympics.
