Retired tennis star Andy Murray is diving into golf.
After retiring from tennis at the Paris 2024 Games, he’s now focusing on the golf course. Like many retired athletes, he’s embracing a new sport.
Murray has been playing golf for a while but plans to get more serious about it now. He’s even getting lessons and sharing his progress online.
Golfing Journey:
Murray will participate in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am at Wentworth on September 18. This event is known for its star-studded lineup, and Murray wants to be well-prepared.
Despite being a regular golfer, he only recently started taking lessons. His social media shows his swing looking sharp. “First golf lesson today on the journey to become a scratch golfer – any tips welcome,” he posted.
Fans might find it exciting to see how quickly he improves with professional coaching.
Interestingly, Murray updated his social media bio to say: “I played tennis. I now play golf.” His skills from tennis, like hand-eye coordination and work ethic, should help him excel in this new sport.
The Pro-Am at Wentworth attracts big names like Gareth Bale, Stuart Broad, and Tom Holland. It will be interesting to see how Murray performs among these stars.
More athletes are turning to golf seriously after retirement. Mohamed Salah loves the game, and Tony Romo has tried qualifying for the US Open multiple times. Gareth Bale is also an avid golfer.
