Episode Details

Bill Williamson, the beloved “Bill Will” who shaped Carolina golf forever, passed away at 95 after a life of triumphs on and off the course. A 1953 NCAA runner-up and architect of UNC’s best team finish ever, he stayed fiercely loyal to the program for decades. Beyond golf, he built a fortune as a savvy investor, founded his own firm, and poured over $100 million into philanthropy. Known for his boundless energy—working out, trading stocks, even painting in his nineties—he radiated kindness and optimism. His leadership elevated golf organizations nationwide, earning him the William C. Campbell Award in 2022. Honored by North Carolina with its highest civilian honor and by Carolina Athletics with its Order of Merit, Bill Will’s legacy is one of relentless generosity, quiet brilliance, and an unshakable zest for living.
