“Being able to watch him and how in control he is of every single thing on the golf course. I feel like every step is so calculated and every little small detail he pays so much attention to. It’s something I can relate to,” Phelps told NBC Sports as he recounted the Masters final round on Sunday. “We met some nice people that offered us a chair to sit next to them at some pretty cool spots and that was one of probably the coolest shots and coolest things I’ve ever seen live in sports and definitely in golf,” Phelps said of Woods’ tee shot on the 16th hole. “Just watching Tiger come back. Watching him be able to do that, get back on top of the mountain, it’s just so cool.”— Ry April 14, 2019The 23-time Olympic gold medalist didn’t go unnoticed on the 16th hole Sunday.

Even though Woods’ focus was solely on his game Sunday, Phelps is pretty sure the 15-time major winner knew he was at the event.“I think he knew I was there because I was standing when he walked out of the clubhouse , and it looked like somebody said something to him about it, like one of the guys walking out with him,” Phelps told NBC Sports.
