Andy Murray Challenges Former Rival to Golf Match

Andy Murray made a splash in his golf debut at the Pro-Am contest at Wentworth, where he played alongside golfer Robert MacIntyre and other celebrities in a prelude to the BMW PGA Championship. The former tennis champion, who retired last month, is aiming to become a scratch golfer and currently has a handicap of seven, though he faced some light-hearted criticism about his swing on social media. In response, fellow ex-tennis player Mardy Fish challenged Murray to a golf match, proposing to play for the prize money he lost to Murray in their tennis encounters. Despite the banter, Murray expressed his nervousness during the event but appreciated the fun of transitioning into golf. He is also reportedly considering participating in the Pro-Am at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship next month. As Murray adapts to life post-retirement, he shared that golf is helping him cope with the transition away from tennis.
