Murray

Competition is a common word in Andy Murray's vocabulary. A true tennis legend, the Brit battled for over 20 years in pursuit of the highest performance.

Nevertheless, since his retirement from the tour in 2024, the three-time Grand Slam winner has found it difficult to find that adrenaline rush. First coaching his rival Djokovic, Murray then developed a passion for golf, playing up to four times a week.

But with a handicap of 2, the Glasgow native has no plans to stop there and will compete in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship (October 2-5) in Scotland, one of the most popular tournaments on the calendar. He will be playing on the amateur side.

"I don't have the ambition to compete in the British Open but rather in regional qualifiers. Several of my friends have done it, and it would be fun if I reached the required level. I would do it, but I don't think I have the slightest chance of qualifying for the Open. I'm fully aware of the level of players who compete in these events and the difference between pros and amateurs.

Even those who play at +2 or +3 are light-years away from those players. In a few years, I hope to have reached a level that allows me not to embarrass myself, but you never know. I want to start competing in more tournaments because I enjoy it.
