Andy Murray has achieved his first golf victory after stepping away from professional tennis, with many predicting more successes in his future.
The 37-year-old Scottish sports legend officially ended his illustrious tennis career after competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics. Since retiring, the former world No.1, known for winning two Wimbledon titles and two Olympic gold medals, has shifted his competitive focus to golf. Murray currently holds a handicap of seven but aims to improve to a scratch level.
Andy Murray’s golfing breakthrough came at the British Tennis Journalists’ Association’s (BTJA) inaugural Mike Dickson Golf Day, held at Hanbury Manor Golf Club in Hertfordshire.
The event featured several celebrities and athletes, yet Murray emerged victorious, marking his first trophy in the sport.
The BTJA announced the result on X, formerly Twitter, saying:
“Well done to our winner @andy_murray on claiming the first trophy of his golfing career. Many more to come, it seems!”
Last month, Murray also participated in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am alongside top golfer Bob MacIntyre, currently ranked 16th globally. MacIntyre, who has been coaching Murray, praised the tennis star’s skills, remarking:
“He’ll reach scratch in no time.”
The Mike Dickson Golf Day honors the legacy of the late tennis journalist Mike Dickson, who passed away earlier this year.
