Two-time PGA
Tour
winner Grayson
Murray
died
Saturday
morning
at
age
30,
one
day
after
he
withdrew
from
the
Charles
Schwab
Cup
Challenge
at
Colonial.
There
were
no
immediate
details
on
the
circumstances
of
his
death,
only
shock
and
grief
from the
PGA
Tour and
his
management
team.
“I
am
at
a
loss
for
words,”
PGA
Tour
Commissioner
Jay
Monahan
said.
“The
PGA
Tour
is
a
family,
and
when
you
lose
a
member
of
your
family,
you
are
never
the
same.
We
mourn
Grayson
and
pray
for
comfort
for
his
loved
ones.”
His
management
company,
GSE
Worldwide,
confirmed
the
death
and
said
it
was
heartbroken.
“We
will
hold
off
on
commenting
until
we
learn
further
details,
but
our
heart
aches
for
his
family,
his
friends
and
all
who
loved
him
during
this
very
difficult
time,”
GSE
said
in
a
statement.
Monahan
said
he
spoke
with
Murray’s
parents
to
offer
condolences,
and
they
asked
that
the
tournament
in
Fort
Worth,
Texas,
continue.
He
said
grief
counselors
would
be
on
site
at
the
PGA
Tour
and
Korn
Ferry
Tour
event.
Monahan
said
he
was
headed
to
Texas.
Murray,
who
had
dealt
with
alcohol
and
mental
issues
in
the
past,
made
a
massive
turnaround
this
year
and
won
the
Sony
Open,
hitting
wedge
to
3
feet
for
birdie
on
the
final
hole
to
get
into
a
playoff
and
winning
it
with
a
40-foot
putt.
He
also
won
the
Barbasol
Championship
in
2017.
Murray,
who
was
No.
58
in
the
world
ranking,
was
coming
off
a
tie
for
43rd
in
the
PGA
Championship
last
week
at
Valhalla.
He
also
made
the
cut
in
his
Masters
debut,
finishing
51st,
and
was
in
the
field
for
the
U.S.
Open
next
month
at
Pinehurst
No.
2.
