The 20th annual Murray Bros. Caddyshack® Charity Golf Tournament returns to the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Florida on august 2 & 3. Thanks to the commitment of Murray Brothers, the annual golf outing has evolved into one of the most talked-about charity golf tournaments in the country.
The annual private fundraiser/golf tournament is a two-day event that incorporates concerts, parties, golf and just plain fun as the Murray’s intend for it to be. Don’t expect a country club sit-down dinner, because this event is like no other. Combine the antics of Bill Murray and his brothers, along with a few celebrity friends carrying autographed guitars, movie scripts, movie posters, sports jerseys, and you get a pretty good idea of what takes place at the annual event.
