PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray has passed away. He was 30 years old.
Grayson was competing at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas but withdrew during Friday’s second round, citing an illness.
Murray has been vocal about his battles with depression, anxiety and alcohol abuse.
Grayson won three consecutive Callaway Junior World Championships and made his first cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at age 16, the second youngest ever.
In 2016, he won the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship to finish second on the Korn Ferry Tour money list and earn full status on the PGA Tour, where he won the 2017 Barbasol Championship at just 23.
In 2023, back on the Korn Ferry Tour, he notched two victories and earned a spot back onto the PGA for the following season.
He opened the 2024 season with a win at the Sony Open in Hawaii, sinking a 40-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole.
The PGA community is shocked by the loss of Murray.
Peter Malnati, who played with Grayson the first two rounds in Fort Worth, was emotional in an interview after news broke.
