PGA Tour pro ‘curious’ about tennis legend Andy Murray’s golf game ahead of the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am

Justin Rose is gearing up for the 2024 BMW PGA Championship. The tournament will be played from Thursday, September 19 to 22 at The Wentworth Golf Club in Virginia Water, England.

Before the tournament, Andy Murray will be competing in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am event. The event will be played on Wednesday, September 18.

Murray's participation was confirmed by the tournament's official handle on X more than a week ago. BMW PGA Championship wrote:

"3x Grand Slam winner, Sir , will be swapping his racket for clubs, as he tees it up in the #BMWPGA Pro-Am"

In the pre-tournament press conference, Justin Rose was asked if he'd be looking out for Andy Murray's swing during the Pro-Am event as he would be in the group ahead of him.

"I actually haven't seen the full list, but Andy is obviously a curious one, and he really seems to have taken to it," Rose said. "He's obviously put a couple bits on social media about his goals and becoming a scratch golfer and the like, and the swing he put up looked pretty good. I think he's on a good path."

Talking about Murray's swing, Rose said everyone realizes that the range and the golf course differ. He said that he would reach the tee on time to watch Murray.

"I'm normally always scrambling and I'm always late, but maybe I'll even get there ten minutes early tomorrow just to see him hit one," he added.
