Andy Murray has signed up for a new tournament just weeks after retiring from tennis – to play golf.
Having changed his X bio to ‘I now play golf’, he has now signed himself up for a Pro-Am event later this month.
Organisers on Friday announced the news that Murray would be taking part in the BMW PGA Championship on social media.
They wrote: “3x Grand Slam winner, Sir @andy_murray, will be swapping his racket for clubs, as he tees it up in the #BMWPGA Pro-Am.”
It comes just weeks after he retired from the sport of tennis after the Paris Olympics over the summer.
Alongside Dan Evans, he reached the quarter-final of the Games but lost to USA’s Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.
That came just days after an emotional departure from Wimbledon, where he played his final game alongside brother Jamie in men’s doubles.
But Murray is ready to turn to his other passion in golf after hanging up his racket.
The Briton has been largely found on the golf course since bidding farewell to tennis, playing with his doubles partner Evans and undergoing lessons.
The BMW PGA Championship is a fun event that allows celebrities and other sport stars to play alongside professional golfers.
Former Tottenham and Real Madrid footballer Gareth Bale is another who has signed up for the Pro-Am, as well as cricket legend Stuart Broad.
And Murray is not even the only tennis player to try his hand with a golf club.
