PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray passed away just one day after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. The PGA Tour officials confirmed the news of his death, although the cause of death has not been disclosed. Murray was only 30 years old at the time of his passing.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan expressed his heartbreak and devastation over the loss of Grayson Murray in a statement released on Saturday. Earlier this year, he had secured a win at the Sony Open, marking the end of a long winless streak and a period during which he openly discussed his struggles with mental health and physical issues.
Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, Murray was known as one of the best junior players in the world, having won three IMG Junior World titles consecutively from 2006 to 2008. He made his mark in professional golf at a young age, becoming the second youngest player to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at 16 and participating in the 2013 U.S. Open at just 19. Murray’s successful professional career included a victory at the 2017 Barbasol Championship when he was only 23.
Those who knew and worked closely with Murray have expressed their deep sorrow over his sudden passing. His caddie Jay Green and agent Kevin Canning were among those who mourned his loss. Murray had been open about the challenges he faced in his career, including struggles with alcohol and anxiety.
