Andy Murray reveals surprising new career goal - and names the star who he 'dreams' of working with

Andy Murray has said it would be his ‘dream’ to caddie for fellow Scot Bob MacIntyre.

The two-time Wimbledon champion has become an avid golfer since hanging up his racket and recently played at the Dunhill Links Championship in the same group as Ryder Cup star MacIntyre.

Appearing on The Romesh Ranganathan Show podcast, 38-year-old Murray revealed: ‘I’m considering becoming a golf caddie for hopefully a professional golfer at some stage.

‘I love golf and if you love that sport, I think it would be a great job.

‘If you were working with a top golfer and being there when they are having a great moment on the course and feeling like you can help a little bit with decisions, I think it would be a brilliant job.

‘The dream pro to caddie for would be Robert MacIntyre.

‘That’s like the dream, to imagine carrying Robert MacIntyre’s bag when he wins The Open or something like that. That would be the dream job.’

Asked if he thought there would be too much attention on him rather than the golfer he is working with, Sir Andy replied: ‘Initially, potentially, but I don’t think long-term.

‘I think with anything new people would probably get quite excited about that but after a while it just becomes the norm.’

Murray boasts an impressive golf handicap of two and wowed fans with his performance at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Pro-Am in October.

That wasn't the first Pro-Am he has taken part in and he has discussed his golf ambitions previously. 

'I want to try and play in the regional qualifying [of The Open] at some stage,' he said. 

'A couple of my friends have done it, and it would just be a fun thing to do if you got to the level where you're able to do that, I would do it, but I certainly don't think I would have any chance of qualifying for The Open. 

'I'm fully aware of how good the players that play in those events are and how good the pros are in comparison to amateurs. Even guys that play off +2, 3 are miles off what these guys are. 

'Not next year, the following year. In a couple of years' time, I think, well, I'm hoping I'll be at a level where I won't totally disgrace myself, but you never know.'
