Murray withdrew from this weekend’s Charles Schwab Challenge on Friday with two holes remaining in his second round.
PGA Tour player Grayson Murray has died, according to a statement issued by commissioner Jay Monahan Saturday afternoon.
Murray, 30, was competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas and withdrew with two holes to play Friday during the second round. No cause of death has been reported so far.Murray was ranked 58th in the world and finished tied for 43rd at last week’s PGA Championship. He played in his first Masters earlier this year, finishing 51st, after winning the Sony Open in Hawaii in January—his second PGA Tour title.
“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.”Bob Harig is a golf writer for SI.com and the author of the book "DRIVE: The Lasting Legacy of Tiger Woods," which publishes in March and can be ordered here.
