If you tuned into any amount of coverage to the Chicago Cubs’ World Series win, chances are, you probably got a decent idea of how big of a fan actor Bill Murray was of the team and the city itself.

Now, Murray is starting a business in the Windy City, along with his five brothers, that will have a Caddyshack theme.

Murray, who played groundskeeper Carl Spackler in the silly golf movie, has a verbal agreement in place to open the restaurant in the Crowne Plaza hotel, according to Christopher Placek of the Daily Herald.



This will be the second sports bar Murray and his brothers have opened with a Caddyshack theme. In 2001, the brothers opened Murray Bros Caddy Shack in St. Augustine, Fla.
