Andy Murray, the two-time Wimbledon champion, has retired from tennis after the Paris 2024 Olympics and is now focusing on golf. The 38-year-old Scot has been honing his skills on the course and is set to compete in the Sunningdale Foursomes this week, a celebrity tournament also featuring former footballer Gareth Bale.
Murray will be paired with DP World Tour winner Eddie Pepperell, while Bale teams up with Matthew Wylie. The event runs from March 10 to March 13 on Sunningdale's Old and New courses. Despite his passion for golf, Murray has no illusions about playing in The Open, stating he would only aim for regional qualifying as a personal challenge.
Instead, Murray is considering a new career as a golf caddie. He revealed in an interview, 'I'm considering becoming a golf caddie, hopefully for a professional golfer at some stage. I love golf and if you love that sport, it would be a great job.' He added that helping a top golfer with decisions during great moments would be 'a brilliant job.'
Murray's wife, Kim Sears, supports his new hobby, joking that she prefers him out of the house. He said, 'I don't think she wants me in the house all day bothering her. So long as I help drop-off and pick-up [the kids], I don't think she massively wants to see me during the day.'
