Former World No. 1 Andy Murray is arguably the greatest British tennis player of all time. When he won the US Open in 2012, he lifted spirits and gave joy to the people of Great Britain. After that, in the following year, he achieved another milestone by winning the Wimbledon Championships. 

Recently, Andy Murray spoke on life after tennis. His liking for sports doesn’t stop at tennis, and golf is one sport that excites him. The idea of being associated in some manner with golf once he retires from playing tennis interests him. Being a caddy on a golf tour is something that the Scottish player would gladly accept.

Speaking more about his post-retirement plans, Andy stated, “I love sport, so something else that would interest me post-playing would be working in another sport. I got asked about this a little while ago and, because I really like golf, being a caddy on a golf tour would be exciting – to be up close and personal with top golfers and to learn about another sport like that.”

The 33-year-old player drew a comparison between tennis and golf. He finds both sports to be similar in the mental aspect of things. He also mentioned that if not golf, he would like to try his hand at coaching football.

Murray added, “There’s probably also some crossover between tennis and golf on the mental side and things, and helping a golfer with that might be interesting. Or getting my coaching badges in football – that would be fun.”
