Bill Murray, the resident gentle jester, actor-comedian and accomplished amateur golfer, will continue his long tenure at this year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Murray, 72, who first played in the PGA Tour event in 1992, was among several celebrities added earlier this week to the tournament’s website player list.
Regular celebrity participants this year include Kira K. Dixon, the 2015 Miss America, restauranteur Thomas Keller, singer Jake Owen, retired San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, Steve Young, the retired San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback. Murray hasn’t played every year since his AT&T debut, but he’s been paired with veteran pro D.A. Points since 2005. Murray also participates in the tournament’s preamble charity events.
“The problem that I always have — and the problem that a significant amount of pros have — is that we just want to play well so badly; it’s Pebble Beach,” said Points. Through the years, Murray, who has 16-handicap, has danced with spectators in sandtraps. He’s dispensed gifts to gallery members, exchanged pleasantries with vocal fans and announced pros’ shots. He’s scrubbed his share of shots and made impressive efforts to help his pro-am team’s score.
