You would think Michael Phelps would be tired from all that swimming, but he's actually ready to take on new projects! The most-decorated Olympian in history has signed on to star in The Haney Project, a Golf Channel show that will make him the student of Hank Haney, the former coach of Tiger Woods.

“I have traveled the world through swimming, but really haven’t had an opportunity to experience the world through my travels,” Michael said. “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.”
