But almost as soon as he announced his retirement, the Scot revealed one of his main goals was to become a scratch golfer. Major golf brand Callaway rushed to sponsor him after he took up the sport again, joining him on his mission to cut his handicap. He competed in a Pro-Am event in September where he showed off his skills and since then has continued to hone his game. The three-time Grand Slam winner is now down to a handicap of 1.9 - and remains just as competitive on the golf course as he was on the tennis court. He was seen celebrating as eagle putt in the same manner as he did his wins at Wimbledon, in an appearance on the Fore Brothers YouTube channel alongside his fellow tennis icon and double Wimbledon winner, Jamie. And on the day of his birthday, Murray was given a special gift from Callaway. Murray turned 38 today and as a present, Callaway had a bespoke set of wedges created for them. They had a heartwarming personal touch included on the clubheads - the names of his four children. Murray was presented with three new wedges, one with Sophia engraved on it, another with Edie on it and the third bears the names of Lola and Teddie.

They captioned the post: "It's a pretty special feeling when you unwrap a new set of wedges, especially on your birthday! "Have a good one Andy!" Murray re-shared the post, proudly displaying his children's names on the clubs, along with a love heart emoji. 3 The personalised clubs gifted to Murray by Callaway Credit: CALLAWAY Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
