Yes, we know that this story sounds like it belongs amongst the Bill Murray “No one will ever believe you” mythology, but it seems the launch of his line of apparel is no joke. To celebrate his birthday, the Caddyshack star and putting green aficionado will be launching his own line of golf clothing in collaboration with his brother and The Chive calledWilliam Murray Golf.
The line’s first offerings, a special Chicago-themed polo and two hats, will go live today with a portion of proceeds from the first day sales going to the Murray family’s favorite Chicago charity, the Mercy Home for Boys & Girls.

Bill’s brother and co-designer Joel said in an e-email of their new line, “All of us Murray brothers grew up caddying so we have a true passion and respect for the game. Regarding the current on-the-course looks; what the players were wearing in the ’70s were much more interesting than most of what you see out there today. With William Murray Golf, we’re looking for that perfect combination of style, humor and subtle irreverence as a way to make things more laid back, relatable and fun.”
He also added some sage words of advice Bill gave him about the art of not losing your cool on the course: “I remember my brother Billy telling me, ‘You’re not good enough to get mad about a bad shot.’ It does wonders for your game if you relax and take it one shot at a time.”
After its initial offering, the line will include polos, shorts, the world’s first golf button-down, and hats, all sold exclusively onWilliamMurrayGolf.comandTheChivery.combeginning October 20. Personally, we’ll be crossing our fingers for dad hats emblazoned with the name“Miley Cyrus” written in Murray’s signature scrawl.
