Tennis legend becomes official brand ambassador for Callaway Golf

Tennis legend Andy Murray has been unveiled as a big signing in golf - as an official brand ambassador for Callaway Golf.

The

three-time Grand Slam champion and double Olympic gold medallist has

secured the exciting partnership after making no secret of his love for

golf.

Murray played in last year’s BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am along with

Scottish No 1 Bob MacIntyre in a group that also included Strictly Come

Dancing judge Anton de Beke and cricket player Jimmy Anderson.

Through this new partnership, fans will have the opportunity to be part

of Murray’s golf story as Callaway creates exclusive content showcasing

his progress, insights, and experiences on the course.

"I’ve

been playing a lot of golf since I retired from tennis and Callaway

have been supporting me with this," said Murray. "I was fitted at their

European Performance Centre in September and I’ve been using their clubs

since then.

“It’s

made a huge difference to my performance already. I’m hoping to reduce

my handicap so I’m looking forward to working with them to keep

improving my game."

Murray joins some of the world’s top golfers, including current Open champion Xander Schauffele, in flying the Callaway flag.

"Andy’s

dedication and competitive mindset have made him one of the most

respected athletes in the world and we’re proud to welcome him to the

Callaway family," said Chris Gregg, marketing director, Callaway Golf

EMEA.

"His

enthusiasm for golf is infectious, and we can’t wait to support him on

this journey while creating content that inspires both existing and new

golfers alike."
