Andy Murray’s Post-Retirement Life: From Golf Handicap Drop to Embarrassing Dad Moments with Kids
Sir Andy Murray is thriving in retirement, trading Grand Slam pressure for family routines, golf greens, and classic dad embarrassments. The 38-year-old, who retired after the 2024 Paris Olympics, has plunged into domestic bliss with wife Kim and their four children: Sophia (9), Edie (7), Teddie (5), and Lola (4).
His eldest, Sophia, now deems him “certainly embarrassing”—a rite of passage for any dad dropping off at school or cheering too loudly. Younger ones adore his constant presence, from early Monopoly games to elf-on-the-shelf antics that make Christmas “more magical.”
Golf has become Murray’s competitive outlet. Once a casual player, he’s slashed his handicap dramatically—reportedly to around 2 earlier this year—practicing daily and competing in events like the Alfred Dunhill Links. “My kids think I’m a golfer,” he laughed, noting they question why “Daddy plays every day.”
No more tournament guilt; Murray cherishes school runs, family dinners, and being fully present—something his 20-year career often stole. He’s dodged the post-retirement void many athletes face, redirecting drive to fatherhood and hobbies.
Recent ventures include Walker’s Shortbread’s festive campaign and reflecting on coaching Djokovic. But priorities are clear: “My purpose has changed… all that attention goes into my family.”
Murray’s new chapter proves legends can ace everyday life too—birdies, bedtime stories, and all.
