We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.

Bill Murray, Caddyshack and a family tartan: the most charismatic backstory in golfwear, wrapped around a solid printed polo.

How We Review Golf Clothing Brands

Every review on the Three Putt journal is written by Graeme Whiles, the founder of Three Putt Golf Clothing. As a competing brand, we have an obvious conflict of interest. We take this seriously and address it directly in our review methodology, which explains how we assess brands consistently regardless of whether they compete with us.

Verdict: 7.5/10

William Murray Golf is the golf brand Bill Murray and his five brothers launched in 2016 with Resignation Media, the company behind theCHIVE, built on the caddying childhood that inspired Caddyshack. We liked the genuine personality, the stretchy ZFG Lite polos, a deep women's line, and prints with real wit rather than lazy meme humour.

British golf fans know the man: Bill Murray is a regular at the Alfred Dunhill Links in Scotland and is in the field again in October 2026. The clothes are harder to get hold of here.

Where it falls short for UK golfers: $85–$92 polos before a flat $35.95 international shipping fee, a 3–6 week wait and import charges, with no international returns. Nothing in the range is waterproof, and the country of manufacture isn't disclosed.

This brand is best for Bill Murray and Caddyshack fans who want a genuinely funny, decent-quality polo and don't mind paying a premium to import it.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: 92% polyester / 8% spandex "ZFG Lite" stretch jersey on the classic and print polos, plus new performance piqué polos for Fall 2026
• Design language: Irreverent, story-driven prints: Caddyshack nods (Bushwood, Spackler, Noonan, Gopher) tied together by the Murray family tartan
• Fit profile: Relaxed polos (size down for slim), slimmer button-downs, men's S–3XL
• Range depth: Deep men's and women's lines (123 women's pieces, including 22 dresses): polos, tees, button-downs, layers, bottoms, hats, accessories and drinkware

Pros

• A genuinely authentic celebrity-and-Caddyshack heritage no rival can copy
• Stretchy 92/8 ZFG Lite polos with prints that are actually funny
• A deep women's range with dresses, skirts and matching looks
• A big US retail footprint: PGA Tour Superstore, Dick's and Golf Galaxy

Cons

• $35.95 flat shipping to the UK, 3–6 week delivery, import charges on top and no international returns
• No waterproofs at all, and the Flop Shot jacket is fleece
• Premium pricing for largely graphic pieces
• No UK stockist, and no country of manufacture disclosed

William Murray Golf Pricing

William Murray prices like a premium lifestyle brand: $85 for solid polos, $88–$92 for prints, $105–$125 for layers and $80–$98 for bottoms. That's fair value in the US, where shipping is free over $125 and returns are free.

For UK buyers the maths gets harder. The site shows a UK visitor dollars, every international order carries a flat $35.95 shipping fee and a 3–6 week wait, import duty and VAT are yours to pay on arrival, and nothing can be sent back.

Category	Entry	Typical	Premium
Polos/Tees	£31	£65–£68	£71+
Midlayers	£69	£81–£88	£88+
Trousers/Shorts	£62	£73	£75
Outerwear	£73	£92–£96	£192
Caps	£23	£25–£27	£31

Approximate GBP equivalents at about $1.30 to the pound, before the $35.95 (about £28) shipping fee and any import charges: tees $40, solid polos $85, print polos $88, Executive polo $92, button-downs $85–$98, WM Logo sweater $90, Chip Shot pullovers $105–$108, hoodies $112–$115, Stowaway quarter-zip $110, Flop Shot vest $95, Stow Away jacket $120, Flop Shot jacket $125, Tee Boxwood puffer vest $138, Velvet Blazer $250, shorts $80, joggers $95, pants $98, hats $32–$40, beanies $30.

Comparison:

• William Murray vs Three Putt: Two brands built on golf personality. Three Putt is a UK brand with tees from £23.99, heavyweight hoodies under £52 and free UK delivery. William Murray adds $35.95 shipping, weeks of waiting and no way to send anything back.
• William Murray vs Zero Restriction: Complete opposites. Zero Restriction is serious, tour-grade waterproofing; William Murray is Caddyshack prints and fleece. One's for the storm, the other's for the story.
• William Murray vs Sunday Swagger: America's loud-fun golf brands at similar money: Sunday Swagger's $64 party prints against William Murray's $88 Caddyshack ones. William Murray at least ships to the UK; Sunday Swagger doesn't.
• William Murray vs Barstool Golf: Golf's two media-made clothing brands: Barstool is built around the Fore Play podcast, William Murray around Bill Murray and theCHIVE. Barstool's $70 polos undercut William Murray's $85, and Barstool collects UK duties at checkout.

Promos/Outlet Notes: Very promotional. On 1 October 2026, 157 of 396 products were marked down (Chip Shot pullovers to $69.90, hats from $11.90), and "Cart Barn" clearance items can't be returned. Free US shipping over $125 never applies to international orders.

Verdict: 7.2/10

Fair value in America, a premium once it crosses the Atlantic. The gear justifies the price; the shipping fee and no-returns rule are what sting UK buyers.

William Murray Golf Fit & Sizing (Usability)

William Murray's fit guidance is refreshingly clear. Polos have "a more relaxed fit, but not your grandfather's boxy style", so size down if you want them slim. Button-downs run slimmer, so size up for a relaxed fit, and pants have a 33-inch inseam.

Notes:

• Polos/Tees: Relaxed but not boxy; size down for a sharper fit. The 92/8 stretch fabric is forgiving through the swing.
• Midlayers: Hoodies, Chip Shot pullovers and the Flop Shot fleece all come in S–3XL; check each garment's chart.
• Trousers/Shorts: Waist sizing with a 33-inch inseam on pants; shorts in 7-inch and 10-inch lengths.
• Outerwear: The Stow Away pieces are water-resistant and the Flop Shot jacket and vest are fleece, so layer accordingly.
• Heat/Humidity: The ZFG Lite polos are the hot-weather pick. There's no rain protection for the wet.
• Size Charts: A real strength: per-garment charts across more than 40 styles, men's and women's.

Accessibility/Range:

• Men's sizes run S–3XL and popular sizes sell out; there's no big-and-tall or 4XL+.
• The women's line is genuinely deep: 123 pieces, including 22 dresses, plus skirts, pullovers and matching looks.
• Logos are heat-transferred, so wash cold and don't iron them; newer polos use a rubberised logo.

Verdict: 7.5/10

Honest, well-documented sizing with a deep women's range. UK buyers can't exchange, so measure twice.

William Murray Golf Core Product Categories

Polos & Tees

The heart of the brand: $85 solid Murray Classic polos and $88 prints like Salty Raccoon, In The Weeds and Suds & Stripes in 92/8 ZFG Lite stretch. New for Fall 2026 are 100% polyester performance piqué polos and the $92 Executive. Tees run $40, with clearance tees down to $11.90. The prints are where the personality lives: Caddyshack nods and Murray-movie references done with real wit.

Verdict: 8.0/10

Midlayers (crews/hoodies/half-zips)

A solid layering bench: Chip Shot pullovers ($105–$108), Loop and Chip Shot hoodies ($112–$115), the short-sleeve Stowaway quarter-zip ($110), the WM Logo sweater ($90) and a performance fleece ($95). The Loop hoodie is the only piece in the range labelled UPF 50. Well made and characterful, if priced at a premium for what they are.

Verdict: 7.6/10

Trousers/Shorts

A tidy, functional range: Murray Classic shorts in 7-inch and 10-inch lengths ($80), performance pants ($98) and joggers ($95), all with stretch and elastic give. Not the deepest bottoms offering, but competent and comfortable: the wardrobe basics beneath the loud shirts.

Verdict: 7.3/10

Outerwear

Here's the catch for British golf: nothing in the range is waterproof. The Stow Away jacket ($120), the Stowaway quarter-zip and the Tee Boxwood reversible puffer vest ($138) are water-resistant, while the Flop Shot full-zip jacket ($125) and vest ($95) are brushed fleece for warmth. There's also a $250 velvet blazer for the awards dinner. Fine for a dry, breezy round; not for a Yorkshire downpour.

Verdict: 6.5/10

Caps & Accessories

A deep, playful accessories wall: hats from $32 to $40 (the Noonan rope hat is $35), beanies at $30, $25 golf gloves, divot tools, cart towels and WMG x YETI drinkware at $35–$45. The Caddyshack naming (Spackler's Hose, Gunga Galunga) is where the brand's humour peaks.

Verdict: 7.8/10

William Murray Golf Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

The fabric is better than "celebrity novelty brand" would suggest: the polos sit on a proper stretch-performance platform. The backend is a blank, though, and the logos need careful handling.

Backend (manufacturing & standards):

• Run as W.M. Golf, Inc. from East Austin, Texas. The brand launched in 2016 as a partnership between the Murray brothers and Resignation Media.
• Country of manufacture isn't disclosed on the site.
• No sustainability programme or eco-fabric claims.
• Logos are heat-transferred, so the care label warns against ironing or high heat; newer polos switch to a rubberised logo.

Application (on-garment features):

• Polos: 92% polyester / 8% spandex "ZFG Lite" jersey on classic and print polos; 100% polyester piqué on the new Fall 2026 performance polos.
• Button-downs: 88/12 poly-spandex stretch.
• Sun protection: advertised on the polos, but only the Loop hoodie carries a UPF 50 rating.
• Outerwear: water-resistant shells and brushed poly/cotton fleece; nothing waterproof.
• The Murray family tartan is the unifying motif, and every garment carries a green "Murray Brothers" eyelet (a rivet on pants and shorts).

Verdict: 7.0/10

A good stretch polo fabric, undercut by zero manufacturing transparency, no sustainability story and peel-prone printed logos.

William Murray Golf Customer Support

A modern, email-first setup with generous US terms, and the now-familiar international cliff edge for UK buyers.

Channels & Hours

• Email only, with separate addresses for orders, marketing and partnerships; no phone line or live chat on the site.
• Customer care runs 8am–5pm CT on weekdays and replies within 1–2 business days.
• Order changes are only guaranteed within 30 minutes of purchase.

Policies

• Returns within 60 days of delivery via a Loop portal for unworn, tagged items, though the returns page headline now says 45 days.
• US return shipping is free according to the FAQ, but the refund policy deducts $5. Refunds take up to 14 days (the returns page says 2–3 weeks), and original shipping isn't refunded.
• Final-sale and "Cart Barn" clearance items are excluded.
• International returns and exchanges aren't accepted at all: defective or wrong items only, by email.

Self-Serve

• US shipping: $9.95 (free over $125), with 2-day ($25) and overnight ($35) upgrades.
• International: a flat $35.95, 3–6 weeks, with import taxes and duties paid by you.
• No UK stockist, and its big US retailers don't sell it to UK shoppers either.

Verdict: 6.4/10

A 60-day window and free returns are great if you're American. UK buyers get the slow lane, the customs bill and no return route, which is a lot to accept on a printed polo.

What Are William Murray Golf's Review Ratings from Review Sites?

(As of October 2026)

• Trustpilot: Effectively unrated: 3.2/5 from just two reviews on an unclaimed profile.
• Better Business Bureau: An A+ rating for the Austin business, which isn't BBB-accredited.
• Editorial: Strong lifestyle-press coverage. Golf Digest covered both the launch and the first women's collection, with features in The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, InsideHook and WWD. It's framed consistently as the fun, irreverent print brand.
• Reach and Credibility: Instagram is the real strength at about 228K followers. PGA Tour veteran Pat Perez was the first brand ambassador, the brand exhibited at the January 2026 PGA Show, and recent drops include a Tito's Vodka "Hair of the Dog" collection and WMG x YETI drinkware.

Synthesis:

The press loves the story and the social following is large, but hard product-review data is thin. You're buying personality and heritage first, a good polo second, and paying a premium for the combination.

Is William Murray Golf a Good Golf Brand?

Yes, William Murray Golf is a good brand for the right buyer. The polo fabric is legitimately good, the women's range is deep, and the Bill Murray and Caddyshack heritage is unmatched and completely authentic. But it's a lifestyle brand at heart: premium prices for graphic pieces, no waterproofs, undisclosed manufacturing and, for UK golfers, a flat $35.95 shipping fee, weeks of waiting, import charges and no returns. If you want that same sense of fun from a UK brand with free UK delivery, Three Putt's golf tees and heavyweight hoodies bring the personality without the import tax.

Frequently Asked Questions About William Murray Golf

Who owns William Murray Golf?

It launched in 2016 as a partnership between Murray Brothers LLC (Bill and his brothers) and Resignation Media, the company behind humour site theCHIVE. The business now trades as W.M. Golf, Inc. from East Austin, Texas.

Is Bill Murray really involved?

Yes. Bill and his five brothers are part of the business through Murray Brothers LLC, the brand is built on their story, and every garment carries a green "Murray Brothers" eyelet. Day-to-day operations are run from Austin.

What is the Caddyshack connection?

It's real. The Murray brothers' actual caddying childhood inspired Caddyshack, which brother Brian Doyle-Murray co-wrote. The brand leans on that heritage with products named after Bushwood, Carl Spackler, Noonan and the Gopher: a family homage rather than a generic movie tie-in.

Where is William Murray Golf made?

The country of manufacture isn't disclosed on the site, so assume it's imported. The brand also has no published sustainability programme.

Does William Murray Golf ship to the UK?

Yes, but on tough terms: prices in dollars, a flat $35.95 international shipping fee, 3–6 week delivery, and import duty and VAT payable by you, with no international returns or exchanges. There's no UK stockist.

How does William Murray sizing run?

Polos have "a more relaxed fit, but not your grandfather's boxy style", so size down if you want them slim. Button-downs run slimmer, so size up for a relaxed fit. The range runs men's S–3XL with a deep women's line, and every core style has its own chart.

Is William Murray Golf good quality?

The classic and print polos use a 92% polyester / 8% spandex stretch fabric, so the core product is better than the "novelty brand" label suggests. Independent review volume is thin, and the heat-transfer logos need careful washing.

What is William Murray's return policy?

US customers can return unworn, tagged items within 60 days of delivery through a Loop portal (the returns page headline says 45 days). International returns and exchanges aren't accepted at all, so UK buyers can only contact the brand about defective or wrong items.
