The putt was so long that the commentator was able to list *all* of Phelps' olympic medals and still had time comment on his foray into golf!

[JustSeanTime]

It's about time this underdog caught a break.

[basketballion]

This is still the longest putt ever holed on tv. Might never be broken

[bobrakow]

"Where is this put going? He is a 26 handicap." LOL

"This week on Michael Phelps is better then you at everything".

Between putting the ball and the ball going into the cup, he took off, swam a few laps and won another gold medal and got back in time to watch the ball drop.

[NorthSwing]

At least if he gets it in the water he can get it without a hassle..

We met mike in the Miami international airport. He was gracious. Spoke to everyone and allowed countless pics. Well spoken and down to earth. A real gentleman.

Announcer: That's an impossible putt.
Phelps: Hold my Speedo.

That putt was so long that I am just seeing it for the first time 7 years later

According to the The Guinness Book of World Records, in the 1964 Tournament of Champions, Jack Nicklaus had the longest put ever made in professional golf: 110 feet. This was almost 50 feet longer.

Truly one of the greatest athletes to ever exist. There is nothing this man cannot do.

[johnbjorkman]

You know it's a long putt when you get a pop-up ad in the middle of it.

I’ve made a putt of around that distance before. Can’t remember which Tiger Woods PGA Golf game it was though. And it took me a few tries to dial it in.

[Jasonlimitless]

Of course he's good at golf, he's practiced his strokes... I'll leave

[Fuzcapp]

The only guy in the world who can swim as fast as he putts (well, nearly - that 53m putt took about 17 seconds to drop and Phelps would swim that distance freestyle in about 23 seconds).

- climbs out of swimming pool after winning 23rd olympic gold medal
- walks over to the nearest gold course
- sinks the longest ever televised golf putt
- refuses to elaborate further
- leaves

[RADERASSASSN]

The only man in the history of golf, that was disappointed it didn't go in the water!"

[thomastirolflorida]

The most successful olympic athlete that ever walked this earth.
