Tennis titan Andy Murray is plotting an audacious crossover to professional golf once he finally retires from the court, the Scottish star has exclusively revealed.
The three-time Grand Slam champion, who has been battling injuries in recent years, confirmed he is already making serious plans for a second sporting act. While he remains focused on his final tennis tournaments, including a potential last appearance at Wimbledon, his competitive drive is already eyeing the fairways.
'I've actually thought about it a lot,' Murray confessed. 'Not so much recently, but the last few years I've given quite a lot of thought to it.'
Despite acknowledging the immense challenge, the determination that defined his tennis career is already fuelling his golf ambitions. 'It's a completely different sport. It would be a huge, huge challenge. But yeah, it's something I have thought about,' he admitted.
From Centre Court to the Clubhouse
Murray's passion for golf is no secret. He is a regular at celebrity pro-am tournaments and is often spotted on golf courses during his downtime. His handicap, believed to be around +5 or +6, is already impressively low, placing him well above the average club player.
This isn't the first time a global tennis icon has swapped sports. Ash Barty famously shifted to professional cricket after her initial tennis retirement before making a stunning return to win Wimbledon. Murray's potential switch, however, would see him aim for the very top in a completely different discipline.
The Ultimate Sporting Challenge
The transition from the explosive, reactive world of tennis to the precision and mental fortitude required for elite golf would be one of the most dramatic career changes in modern sport. Murray's renowned work ethic and strategic mind could prove to be valuable assets on the green.
For now, fans can still catch him on the tennis court. But soon, they might just be watching him sink a putt to win a major tournament of a very different kind.
