Catch Up with Xander Schauffele and Michael Phelps: Golf Meets Swimming Greatness
Xander Schauffele: Hey Michael, it’s awesome to finally get to chat with you outside of those charity events. How’s life treating you outside the pool?
Michael Phelps: Hey Xander! It’s fantastic, man. A lot more time with the family and a whole lot of golf. Speaking of which, I’ve been watching you dominate on the greens lately. What’s your secret sauce?
Xander Schauffele: I appreciate that, Michael! It’s all about staying consistent and mentally sharp, honestly. I take it you’ve been hitting the links pretty often?
Michael Phelps: Oh, you bet. It’s a completely different game from swimming, but I love the challenge. It’s like a mental workout, kind of like those long and intense training sessions I used to do. Any tips for a guy still perfecting his swing?
Xander Schauffele: Absolutely, man. I’d say practice your short game. Putting and chipping around the green can save you more strokes than those 300-yard drives everyone’s chasing. Plus, it’s something you can practice almost anywhere.
Michael Phelps: Good call. I’ve been trying to work on that but it’s tough! Judging the distance and break feels like trying to hit every stroke perfectly in a 400 IM.
Xander Schauffele: That’s a great analogy. The more time you spend on it, the more natural it becomes. Maybe we should have a friendly match sometime—an Olympian showdown on the fairways!
Michael Phelps: Now that sounds like a plan! Just don’t go too easy on me. I’ve got a competitive streak that doesn’t quit.
Xander Schauffele: Oh, I know that competitive streak well! Let’s do it. By the way, do you ever miss the grind of professional swimming?
Michael Phelps: Sometimes, sure. The thrill of competition and the routine can be hard to replace, but it’s great to channel that energy into something new—like golf. What about you? Ever think about what’s next after the PGA Tour?
Xander Schauffele: For now, I’m fully focused on my game, but I can’t lie—coaching or even designing golf courses someday does sound pretty exciting. But hey, let’s shoot for the stars on the green before we dive into what’s next, right?
Michael Phelps: Couldn’t agree more. Alright Xander, you’ve got me pumped to hit the course. Let’s make this happen sooner rather than later!
Xander Schauffele: You got it, Michael. Game on!
The prospect of these two titans from different sports colliding on the golf course is exhilarating. Stay tuned—you never know when you might catch Xander Schauffele coaching Michael Phelps on his short game!
