Olympic legend Michael Phelps has long been a golf enthusiast – and is quite good on the links.
Soon, he will test his skills in a celebrity tournament called “The Match: Superstars,” a TNT program.
“The Match is LOADED with star power 🔥 Catch me on The Match: Superstars Nov. 21 and 22 on TNT! @tntsportsus,” Michael Phelps wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The tournament in Las Vegas will be live on TNT Nov. 21-22 and will be available for live streaming on Max.
The team formatted tournament will feature some of the world’s greatest athletes and entertainers.
Athletes include hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, baseball legend Ken Griffey Jr., Dream Team legend Charles Barkley and NBA All-Star and dunk specialist Blake Griffin.
Movie stars Bill Murray, Mark Wahlberg and comedian Nate Bargatze are also slated to appear.
The teams are pairs and Michael Phelps will team with Wahlberg and will face Bargatze and Griffin in the first round.
The other pairing will see Murray and Gretzky against Barkley and Griffey Jr.
After the opening pairs round, there will be a semifinal and final with the winner taking home $1 million to a charity of their choice.
Phelps has played in several Pro-Am events over the years and golf has gone from a hobby to what he calls an obsession.
“I’m just obsessed,” Michael Phelps told Boardroom. “I got my wife obsessed too, which is nice so we get to get out and play a ton. I’m a super competitive human, so being able to play golf and compete with anybody you possibly play with is so cool. I can go out and play with (Jon) Rahm and he gives me a ton of shots, but I still compete. That’s one of the things I love about golf.”
