Fourballs & Finals | Bid on Billy Horschel's West Ham United golf ...

American golfer Billy Horschel’s Claret and Blue West Ham United bag has become a popular sight on golf courses in recent years – and now you can own it!

The world number 24 had the bag made specially for The Open Championship in 2021, and his fellow Hammers can bid on this unique piece of West Ham memorabilia – and raise money for a good cause in the process – in a special fundraising auction.

The 37-year-old is auctioning the bag for his and wife Brittany’s Horschel Family Foundation, which provides support for people with addiction or mental health issues, promotes wellness and healthy living, assists local food banks and veterans in Horschel’s home state of Florida, and provides opportunities for golfers from minority backgrounds through its partnership with the Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA).

Horschel’s famous Claret and Blue bag has been signed by the ten-time tournament winner, West Ham legend and his friend Mark Noble, and members of the men’s first-team squad, who the golfer spent time with during the Club’s pre-season tour of the Sunshine State.

What is more, Horschel used the bag to conduct a fun-packed Q&A session in which he revealed his favourite West Ham memories, his dream Hammers fourball, Noble’s golf game, whether he would rather appear in a Ryder Cup or watch the Irons win the UEFA Champions League, and how he ended up carrying a Claret and Blue golf bag!

Horschel kicks-off his challenge to win the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, Surrey, for the second time on Thursday, and is looking forward to being cheered around the course by his fellow Hammers.

“Wentworth is the course with the loudest West Ham fans!” smiled the 2021 champion. “I hear so much of ‘Come on you Irons!’ and ‘Up the Hammers!’ and get serenaded throughout the golf course with ‘Forever Blowing Bubbles’, so that would probably be the one on a regular basis that is the loudest!”

The BMW Championship comes two months after Horschel finished tied for second at The Open Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland, where he was roared on by a passionate Claret and Blue Army of golf fans.

“It was nasty weather on the Saturday walking up onto number 12 green and it happened a few other times, getting serenaded with ‘Forever Blowing Bubbles’ from about 200 fans was pretty special,” he recalled. “I had goosebumps and the hairs on my arms were sticking up, so that was a pretty memorable moment right then and there.”

Make a bid for Billy's bag now HERE.

The BMW Championship is being screened live in the UK by Sky Sports, with Horschel impressing in his opening round on Thursday to finish five under par. He tees off his second round 8.55am on Friday.

Everyone at West Ham United would like to wish Billy luck at Wentworth!
