Andy Murray career change confirmed as tennis legend’s golf partner is announced
ANDY MURRAY is ready to swap the court for the course at a golf Pro-Am event next week.
The three-time Grand Slam winner enjoyed a stunning run to the men’s doubles quarter-final before hanging up his racket at the Paris Olympics in August.
Murray has kept busy since retiring by warming-up for an appearance at Wentworth on September 18.
The 37-year-old will partner fellow Scot Robert MacIntyre at the British PGA Championship Celebrity Pro-Am tournament.
MacIntyre said: “Andy is a hero to so many people in Scotland and across the world.
“It’s pretty exciting to be playing alongside him in his BMW PGA Championship debut.
“He’s been absolutely dedicated to tennis during his incredible career, but it looks like he’s been playing plenty of golf since his retirement, so I’m looking forward to seeing if all that practice has paid off.”
Murray will go head-to-head with other sports stars at Wenworth, including footballers Gareth Bale, Jordan Pickford and Troy Deeney.
Actor Tom Holland and comedian Michael McIntyre will also go for glory in the Pro-Am.
Since quitting tennis, Murray has been loving his more relaxed lifestyle, telling the BBC: “Since I’ve stopped, I feel really free and have got lots of time to do whatever it is I want.
