Grayson Murray, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, has died, commissioner Jay Monahan said in an announcement Saturday. He was 30 years old.
Murray withdrew from this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge after 16 holes in the second round. He was 5-over during the round, which came after he shot a 68 to open play this week.
Details were scarce at the time of publication, but Monahan said more information would be available at a later time.
“We were devastated to learn – and are heartbroken to share – that PGA TOUR player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” Monahan said in a statement. “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.
“I reached out to Grayson’s parents to offer our deepest condolences, and during that conversation, they asked that we continue with tournament play. They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes.”
