Bill Murray and Brothers Inducted into Golf Caddy Hall of Fame
And check out his pants at the BMW pro-am in Lake Forest.
Bill Murray and his five brothers were at the BMW Championship pro-am in Lake Forest on Wednesday, and they were inducted into The Caddie Hall of Fame after playing, reports NBC Chicago. Their adventures as caddies in Winnetka back in the day served as an inspiration for the film “Caddyshack.”

Growing up 30 minutes away in nearby Winnetka, Murray and his brothers caddied at Indian Hill Club. Bill’s brother Brian wrote the 1980 hit comedy ”Caddyshack” (in which Bill stole the show as deranged greenskeeper Carl Spackler) based on their experiences as young loopers there.
The Caddie Hall of Fame was created in 1999 by Dennis and Laura Cone and the Professional Caddies Assocation, but the Western Golf Assocation took it over in 2011.
