Tributes Are Rolling In For PGA Golfer Grayson Murray

On Saturday, news broke that two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray had died at the age of 30.

Murray — who won the  2024 Sony Open in Hawaii earlier this year — withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge on Friday during the second round, at which point he had said he "wasn't feeling well."

On Saturday, the news of his death was announced which hit those in the golf world and fans around the world hard.

As of Saturday evening, no cause of death has been revealed.

Tributes have been coming in on social media:

Among the tributes, there was one video that was being shared quite a bit, and it was of Murray talking about his struggles with mental health and addiction. 

When he won the Sony Open earlier this year, OutKick's Mark Harris wrote that Murray was "eight months sober," and had "battled alcoholism over the years while claiming each time he reached out to the Tour for help, it never came to fruition."

"Yeah, my parents have been through, you know, hell and back basically for the last six years with me, fighting some mental stuff and it's not easy on me and the people around me that love me," he said. "They don't like to see me down and they've been my number one supporters.

"Everyone has their battles and sometimes people are able to hide them and function and sometimes you're not. And, you know, I think our society now is getting better about accepting that "it's okay to not be okay"-type deal and I've embraced that type of mentality and I'm not ashamed that I go through depression, anxiety, and I know I've helped people out in the past just though my social media DMs. People message me and that's I think part of [how] I can use my platform to continue to help with things like that."

Those are some wise words. Rest in peace, Grayson.
