Bill Murray debuts 'Bill-Bottoms' at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Dylan Dethier — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 10:15:00 +0000

Of all Bill Murray’s fashion conquests, this may be the toughest sell.

“Bill’s bringing back bell-bottoms!” crowed an announcement on his website. On Wednesday, that was clearly Murray’s goal when he teed it up at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am’s 3M Celebrity Challenge in a pair of blue trousers with an unmistakable wide flare at the bottom. The pattern on the pants alternated orange-yellow peonies and train caboose blueprints (reportedly “Lucy the Caboosey”). The selections were inspired by Murray’s mother Lucille, whose favorite flower was the peony.

The pants are available through Murray’s new line of golf wear, William Murray Golf, and Betabrand. Although the trousers aren’t technically available for purchase, contributing $100 to the brand’s crowdfunding efforts promises a pair of pants if the venture is ultimately funded.

We don’t want to doubt anything the Caddyshack star’s influence on style in the golf world. But bringing bell-bottoms back? That seems like an uphill battle. You can get yours HERE.

The PGA Tour’s West Coast swing continues this week, moving from the hard-partying Scottsdale desert to the genteel, seaside confines of Monterey, Calif.

This year’s celebrity roster is brimming with big names, and why not, when Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula Country Club are on the itinerary. Here are 14 familiar faces to look for on the links this week. You can view the full list of celebrity participants here.

Bret Baier

The Fox anchor captained his college golf team at DePauw University in Indiana, and says he still maintains a 5 handicap.

Carson Daly

The NBC host won the Pro-Am portion of the tournament with Ken Duke in 2017. Even more proof of his golf chops? He told Kingdom magazine he dropped out of college when he was 18 to try to qualify for the U.S. Open.

Larry Fitzgerald

The Arizona Cardinals wide receiver says he’s a 10 or 11 handicap, and he’s so serious about the game, he packs a cut-off shaft during road weeks so he can practice his swing.

Wayne Gretzky

The Great One is no stranger to the AT&T field. Must be a nice feeling when you know you’ll be teeing it up with the world’s No. 1 player (and future son-in-law), Dustin Johnson.

Larry the Cable Guy

The blue-collar comedian says he used to hate golf, but credits Boo Weekley with getting him into the game.

Bill Murray

The Pebble Beach Pro-Am mainstay dazzles with both his wit and his wardrobe.

Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers strengthens the NFL contingent of the week’s proceedings with a reported 4.0 handicap index.

Alfonso Ribeiro

Carlton. Need we say more?

Kelly Rohrbach

The former Georgetown player turned SI swimsuit model and actress was one of GOLF’s Most Beautiful Women in 2016.

Ray Romano

The comedian and Haney Project alum loves the game, but says, “I still pretty much stink.”

Tony Romo

The retired Cowboys quarterback turned CBS broadcaster is serious about golf. (He’s attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open several times.) And Jim Nantz recently revealed he’ll be given a sponsor’s exemption into an upcoming PGA Tour event.

Joe Don Rooney

The Rascal Flatts’s lead guitarist says he’s played around 60 of the country’s top 100 courses.

Darius Rucker

The former Hootie & the Blowfish frontman is a single-digit handicap and hosts an annual post-Masters pro-am.

Justin Verlander

Husband to Kate Upton, pitcher for the World Series-winning Houston Astros, and a reported 4 handicap? Okay, we’re officially jealous.

Jordan Spieth was just barely one of the most famous people in his pro-am group Wednesday in Honolulu.

He was joined by model and Baywatch actress Kelly Rohrbach and pop star Nick Jonas under sunny skies at Waialae Country Club, and the three shared a round and plenty of laughs.

Rohrbach, a former college golfer, showed she still has plenty of game, too.
