SHARE Bill Murray wore argyle Cubs pants during golf tournament

Count Bill Murray among the many Cubs fans ready for baseball season.

With spring training just around the corner, the comedian sported a spectacular pair of Cubs-themed argyle pants this weekend while competing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The pants were made by apparel brand Loud Mouth Golf, and can be purchased for $130. The company also makes the design in shorts, skirts, vests and even knickerbockers.

Murray, a Wilmette native and an unabashed Cubs fan, has throw out the first pitch, sung “Take me out to the ballgame” and even run the bases at Wrigley in the past.
