THE STORY
What to know
Playing level
A verified handicap of 3
The DP World Tour listed Murray with a handicap of 3 for the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. That puts him among the stronger celebrity amateurs, though still well short of tour-professional level.
Competition
He has already won amateur events
Murray picked up his first golf trophy at the BTJA Mike Dickson Golf Day in October 2024. It was a meaningful early result in his transition from tennis into competitive amateur golf.
Pro-am results
Strong flashes in celebrity fields
He has played major professional-tour pro-ams, including the BMW PGA Celebrity Pro-Am and Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. His standout moment came at Wentworth, where he made an eagle on the 18th hole and drew praise from Billy Horschel.
Recent activity
Golf became a major post-tennis focus
Murray has described himself as a golf fanatic since retiring from tennis. Recent activity includes the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, where he competed alongside professional players and entered with a reported 3 handicap.
How he plays
Athletic, competitive and still developing
His tennis background gives him excellent hand-eye coordination, movement and competitive instincts. The available reporting suggests a player who can produce excellent individual shots but is still building the consistency, course management and short-game reliability expected from elite amateur golfers.

HH take
Why this profile is worth exploring
The fairest description is “very good, fast-improving amateur.” Use the DP World Tour’s 3 handicap as the anchor, while treating later near-scratch claims as reported rather than independently verified.
