In 2025, celebrities like Murray, Alcaraz, and Kelce discover the charm of golf fairways and greens.
Some arrived with medals, others with millions of followers – but in 2025, they all came to the golf course holding clubs. What initially seemed like a series of PR-driven appearances by notable personalities quickly turned into a serious shift: Whether it was Andy Murray with sporting ambition, Jason Kelce with Reddit tips, or LeBron James with respectful amazement – for many, golf was not an ending but a beginning. Thus, the sport wrote a surprising chapter between fairway and feature story.
Andy Murray: From Centre Court to the Rough
Retirement doesn’t always mean stopping. Andy Murray, three-time Grand Slam winner, didn’t hesitate long after ending his tennis career and simply swapped rackets for clubs. After officially concluding his career in Paris, he consistently turned to the golf course. His collaboration with Callaway gave this path structure: a fitting at the European Performance Centre, a full set of equipment, and a system that helped him progress step by step. Murray trains, analyzes, refines his technique – and celebrated a memorable moment with an eagle on the 18th at the Old Course in St Andrews. “Good for social media,” he grinned.

Carlos Alcaraz: Golf Swing Instead of Forehand Volley
From one tennis star to another: Carlos Alcaraz also found himself more frequently on the fairway in 2025. The young Spaniard, multiple Grand Slam winner, participated in the Open de España Pro-Am alongside Jon Rahm. The Wimbledon champion carried not only a 14 handicap but also an unpretentious demeanor. Alcaraz pushed his own trolley, looking more like a local club player than a global star.
