Even Tiger Woods would probably be impressed with the long putt. 

However, some fans believed he did not hold the record, as Ian Poulter is the rightful owner of that record. 

Ian Poulter created the record?

Member of LIV golf, Ian Poulter, once made a 163-long putt that is considered the longest televised putt. But Phelps is not a professional golfer. So for him to make the putt was astonishing. Right now, Phelps plays the sport whenever he gets time. For Phelps, he credits swimming for helping him to transition smoothly into golf. 

Slowly and steadily, Phelps is entering the golfing world, and we might see him challenging for the major tournaments. The odds of that happening is pretty much in favor of Phelps. But everyone will remember him for his stunning putt and showcasing his unbelievable talents.
