Not to be outdone by his beloved Cubs and their dandy garments, Bill Murray last month celebrated his birthday with the launch of his own snazzy line of golfwear, with the help of his brothers. Now, it looks like the fall line has arrived—think of it as the wiseass version of the September Issue.
There might not be anything as iconic as his “I Ain’t Afraid of No Goat” shirt, but there are some pretty sharp news tees and button-downs plus groundskeeper, classic and tartan shorts, available in mid-November. (Prices range from $30-90.)
"Growing up caddying helped us learn about strict adherence to rules and subservience," Joel Murray, Bill’s youngest brother, said in a press release. "Caddying also helped us learn we had no interest in either."
"Whether you’re a serious golfer chasing your club championship, a weekend hacker going out with your buddies to make some memories or a non-golfer who is into the lifestyle aspect of the brand—William Murray Golf was created to help you channel your inner Murray.Cool-hand. Laid back. Sanguine. Confident. Embrace it all. Be chill like Bill."
Interesting side note: Murray is facing a potential heartbreaking conflict this weekend. As the Tribune reported, Bill is set to receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday, the same night as—if necessary—Game Seven of the NLCS. He can at least rest easy knowing he'll look good whichever he chooses. Although seriously, Bill, skip the Twain prize. No contest.
