Phelps signs golf deal with Ping

UPDATED JAN 30, 2013 11:28 AM ET

 

Michael Phelps is getting serious about his golf game.

The winner of a record 18 gold medals in Olympic swimming, Phelps signed on with Ping to provide his clubs starting with an appearance in Wednesday's pro-am for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He was scheduled to be paired with Masters champion Bubba Watson.


Phelps got a tour of Ping's Arizona facilities, where he was fitted for a set of clubs that accommodate his 6-foot-4 height, long arms and large hands. He's already noticed a big improvement in the flight of his ball.

''It's pretty wild,'' he told The Associated Press. ''It's crazy to think this sport is so technical. A lot of sports are very technical, but one of the (Ping) guys said there's 50-something different shafts they can put on the clubs. I'm used to having a pair of goggles, a small, medium or large swim cap, and a jammer to put on, and that's it.''

Once was a time when he would have lost his amateur status for that. Likewise Justin Timberlake and Callaway etc.

I don't want to imagine Bubba signing an endorsement deal with Speedo.
