Andy Murray has lifted his first trophy in golf after his retirement from tennis and the British sporting icon has been tipped to win ‘many more’ titles.
Murray, 37, finally called time on his incredible tennis career after the recent Olympic Games in Paris and has spent lots of time on the golf course ever since.
The two-time Wimbledon champion and double Olympic gold medallist, a former world No.1, boasts a golf handicap of seven but is aiming to get down to scratch.
Murray has now bagged his first trophy after emerging victorious at the British Tennis Journalists’ Association’s (BTJA) inaugural Mike Dickson Golf Day.
The event, held at Hanbury Manor Golf Club in Hertfordshire, featured a number of celebrities and sports stars but it was Murray who came out on top.
‘Thanks to everyone who joined us at Hanbury Manor yesterday for the first BTJA Mike Dickson Golf Day, supported by @InfluenceSports,’ the BTJA posted on X.
‘Well done to our winner @andy_murray on claiming the first trophy of his golfing career. Think there are many more to come by the looks of it…’
Murray also played with other celebrities in the BMW PGA Championship’s Pro-Am event at Wentworth last month, partnering up with Bob MacIntyre.
MacIntyre, No.16 in golf’s world rankings, has been giving regular lessons to fellow Scotsman Murray ever since he hung up his tennis racket.
‘For someone that’s not really played that much, I thought he was good,’ MacIntyre said about Murray’s golfing skills at Wentworth last month.
‘I was very impressed with his game. He’ll be scratch in no time.’
Murray’s social media bio on X, formerly known as Twitter, currently reads: ‘I played tennis. I now play golf.’
The Mike Dickson Golf Day was set up to celebrate the life and career of the Daily Mail’s legendary tennis correspondent ‘Dicko’, who passed away in January.
