Murray and Coyne Set Off on Irish Links Adventure for New Series
Bill Murray and writer Tom Coyne are fronting a new six-episode show that traces a golfing journey through both parts of Ireland. The program, inspired by Coyne's book about walking between Irish links, is scheduled for Paramount+ and the BBC this month. Murray's siblings and guests such as Chris O'Dowd, Joanne McNally and Jason Kelce will appear.
The program runs six episodes of 30 minutes, with each installment set at a different course and featuring a different guest. It was first announced in September 2025 as Off Course before adopting its current name. Coyne’s book describes a four-month journey of roughly 1,100 miles on foot and about 1,000 seaside holes. He has said the show includes much less walking but still covers many miles.
Skydance Sports and Stellify Media produced it. The show mixes golf with meetings with locals and their tales. The featured courses remain unnamed. Murray’s brothers Joel and John Murray appear, along with Chris O’Dowd, Joanne McNally and Jason Kelce.
The series may boost golf tourism in Ireland and Northern Ireland, drawing visitors to links courses and local businesses. Viewers who enjoy celebrity travel shows could discover the region’s golf culture, while clubs and hospitality providers might see added interest. Its impact likely depends on how warmly the show portrays local people and places, and whether audiences act on that inspiration.
