The 37-year-old is taking part in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am at Wentworth – alongside Scottish Ryder Cup hero Bob MacIntyre.

Murray, in Group 18a, was out at 8am with a shotgun start at Wentworth – where he’s one of the star turns on the course.

Also in the four ball is England cricket ace Jimmy Anderson and Strictly Come Dancing Star Anton du Beke.

Murray has found time to get his handicap down to 7, although that still means he’s behind Anderson (1.8) and Du Beke (1).

It’s clearly a friendly set up and mum Judy shared a snap of her second son with her former Strictly dance partner Du Beke ahead of their scheduled tee off time at 8am this morning.

Tagging both, she wrote on X: “These two on the same team ⁦@BMWPGA⁩ ProAm at Wentworth today.”

We told you how the Scottish sporting superstar had wasted little time in entering his first competition in his new sport after saying an emotional goodbye to tennis at the Olympics.

There were also emotional scenes when the Scot said goodbye to Wimbledon earlier in the summer.

The Scot, a junior member at Dunblane golf club earlier in his life, has indicated that he’d like to channel his energies into being a scratch golfer.

Murray isn’t the only Scottish sporting star in action — with Olympic swimming sensation Duncan Scott playing off 13 in his four-ball with Korean pro Beyong Hun An later in the day.
