Summary
- Bill Murray stars in a new golf show set in Ireland.
- The show explores Ireland through people met in pubs and streets.
- Murray compares visiting Ireland to attending a family member's wake.
Bill Murray's new series, "A Course Called Ireland," premiering on Paramount+ and produced by Skydance Sports, chronicles a 16-day exploration of the country with author Tom Coyne.
The show emphasizes interactions with people met in pubs and on the streets over golfing itself. Murray describes visiting Ireland as akin to attending a family wake, feeling a sense of comfort and kinship with the locals.
"A Course Called Ireland" aims to highlight Irish voices and experiences. Coyne noted that the series focuses on the hosts' arrival in Ireland and how they engage with the local environment and its people.
Murray, who calls Ireland the "absolute best place to golf" due to its beauty, has also expressed interest in covering more holidays with his projects, potentially including Halloween and St. Patrick's Day.
