Grayson Murray, a 30-year-old PGA Tour golfer, has died by suicide, according to his parents. The news was confirmed after the PGA Tour announced his death. Murray, a two-time tour winner, withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge due to illness just before his death.
His parents, Eric and Terry Murray, expressed their grief and disbelief, stating they’ve struggled to accept the loss of their son. They emphasized how much Murray was loved by his family, friends, and the golfing community.
Murray had a successful start, winning three Junior World Championships and joining the PGA Tour at 22. He won his first title in 2017 and another in Hawaii, achieving a career-high world ranking of 46. Despite his successes, he faced mental health issues and alcoholism, openly discussing his struggles.
The Murray family thanked the PGA Tour and the golfing world for their support and asked for privacy. They hoped Grayson’s legacy would inspire kindness among people.
