==Sporting career==

===Junior===
Murdoch is a two time [[World Junior Curling Championships|World Junior Curling Champion]] – in 1995, as an alternate for [[Tom Brewster, Jr.]], and in 1996 as a lead for [[James Dryburgh]]. In 1998 he won a silver medal at the World Juniors as a third for [[Garry MacKay]]. By 1999, Murdoch had moved up to the position of skip, and led Scotland to a 6–3 record and fifth place at [[1999 World Junior Curling Championships|that year's]] world juniors. Four years later, he led Scotland to the [[European Curling Championships|European Championship]] title, beating [[Peja Lindholm]]'s formidable Sweden team in the final.

===Men's===
In 2005, Murdoch went to his first ever [[World Curling Championships|World Championships]]. At the [[2005 Ford World Men's Curling Championship]] his Scotland rink won the silver medal after losing to Canada's [[Randy Ferbey]] in the final.  The team's fine run of form ensured all four members a place in the Great Britain men's squad for the [[Curling at the 2006 Winter Olympics|2006 Winter Olympics]], with Murdoch in the position of skip. At the Olympics, Murdoch and his team lost in the bronze medal match to [[Pete Fenson]] of the United States. Two months later, Murdoch would avenge his defeat in 2005 by winning the gold medal at the [[2006 World Men's Curling Championship]]. Murdoch defeated Canada (skipped by [[Jean-Michel Ménard]]) in the final. In December 2006 he won the silver medal in the European Championships in [[Basel]], Switzerland, and followed that up with gold in [[2007 European Curling Championships|2007]]. He successfully defended his title at the European Curling Championships 2008 against Norway's [[Thomas Ulsrud]].

Murdoch and his team represented Scotland again at the [[2008 World Men's Curling Championship]],<ref>Curling Scoops. {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20080422193537/http://www.curlingscoops.com/events/wmcc08.html 2008 World Men's Curling Championship]}}</ref> where he lost to Canada in the final.

In 2009, Murdoch once again won a gold medal for Scotland at the World Men's Curling Championship, which was held in [[Moncton, New Brunswick]].<ref>Curling Scoops: {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20140222164959/http://www.curlingscoops.com/stories/april1209b2.php Scots on Top]}}</ref>

On 17 January 2010, Murdoch's rink became the first non-Canadian team to win the [[TSN Skins Game]]. His team won $70,500 (£43,000) for the win.

After the 2009–10 season, Murdoch's Olympic team broke up.

In 2012, Murdoch teamed up with [[Tom Brewster]]'s rink. The 2012–13 season saw them win the Edinburgh Invitational in late 2012 and the German Masters in Hamburg in January 2013. With Murdoch as skip, they won bronze at the 2013 World Championships. The team took bronze at the 2013 European Championships.<ref name="hamiltonmanagement1">{{cite web|url=http://www.hamiltonmanagement.co.uk/david-murdoch-curling/|title=David Murdoch and Scots curlers secure Bronze at European Championships|publisher=Hamilton Management|date=1 December 2013|access-date=6 February 2014|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924024741/http://www.hamiltonmanagement.co.uk/david-murdoch-curling/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In October 2013, he was selected to skip the Great Britain squad at the [[2014 Winter Olympics]].<ref name="hamiltonmanagement1"/> where he won a silver medal, losing to Canada's Brad Jacobs in the final. His 12 curling matches as skip of the Team GB men at the Sochi Olympics saw his last stones win crucial games including a vital play off against Norway in which his shot was dubbed by national press as ‘shot of the century’{{citation needed|date=November 2016}} to make the semi-finals and then a last shot against Sweden to secure a silver medal and Olympic final place. The silver medal was the first for Team GB men’s curling since the [[Curling at the 1924 Winter Olympics|1924 games]]. Curling coverage at Sochi was seen for 30 hours{{clarify|date=November 2016}} and was the most talked about sport on social media.{{citation needed|date=November 2016}}

However, Murdoch's rink endured what he described as "a difficult year"<ref name=beeb /> following the 2014 Olympics: they lost in the final of the Scottish Championships in February 2015 to defending champion and former team-mate [[Ewan MacDonald]]'s team, denying Team Murdoch a place at the [[2015 Ford World Men's Curling Championship]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-sports/31579253 |title=Curling: Eve Muirhead reclaims Scottish Championship |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=22 February 2015 |website=[[bbc.co.uk]] |access-date=19 November 2016}}</ref> before finishing third in the Scottish qualifying tournament held in October of that year for the [[2015 European Curling Championships – Men's tournament|2015 European Curling Championships]] behind [[Kyle Smith (curler)|Kyle Smith]] and former team-mate [[Tom Brewster]]'s rinks, thus failing to secure selection.<ref name=beeb>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-sports/34807711 |title=Curling: David Murdoch looks to regain top Scotland spot |last=Lewis |first=Jane|author-link=Jane Lewis (journalist) |date=16 November 2015|website=[[bbc.co.uk]] |access-date=19 November 2016}}</ref> In 2016 Team Murdoch were runners-up to Team Brewster in both the Scottish championships in February<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.royalcaledoniancurlingclub.org/team-brewster-are-go-coco-scottish-curling-champions/ |title=Team Brewster are Go Coco Scottish Curling Champions |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=20 February 2016 |website=[[Royal Caledonian Curling Club]] |access-date=19 November 2016}}</ref> and the European Playdowns in October.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-sports/37675668 |title=European Curling: Tom Brewster & Eve Muirhead lead Scotland rinks |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=17 October 2016 |website=[[bbc.co.uk]] |access-date=19 November 2016}}</ref> Murdoch's rink were selected to compete for Scotland at the [[2017 World Men's Curling Championship|2017 World Curling Championship]], where they secured qualification for Team GB to the [[2018 Winter Olympics]] by finishing sixth: however in June 2017 it was announced that Kyle Smith's team had been chosen to compete at the 2018 Games over Team Murdoch and Team Brewster.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-sports/40382356 |title=David Murdoch laments missing out on Team GB Olympic curling berth |last=Lewis |first=Jane|author-link=Jane Lewis (journalist) |date=23 June 2017 |website=[[bbc.co.uk]]|access-date=25 June 2017}}</ref> On 13 July 2017 Murdoch announced his retirement from his playing career, and will begin coaching.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.britishcurling.com/news/3-jul-2017-david-murdoch-ends-competitive-career-on-high-as-he-announces-new-coaching-career.asp|title=Content Not Found}}</ref>
