PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray is tragically dead at age 30.
On Saturday, May 25, the organization’s commissioner, Jay Monahan, shared the announcement regarding the Sony Open in Hawaii winner via email.
“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 wrote of the professional athlete, who recently withdrew from the Colonial Country Club tournament, citing illness. “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,” Monahan added.
