PGA Tour Champion Grayson Murray Dies By Suicide At 30

PGA: PGA Championship - Second Round

Tragic news has emerged as the parents of Grayson Murray, a two-time PGA Tour champion, confirmed the heartbreaking loss of their son at the young age of 30. Murray's passing came just a day after he withdrew from a golf tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, citing an illness.

In a poignant statement, Murray's parents expressed their profound grief, stating, 'We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone. It's surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world. It's a nightmare. Life wasn't always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.'

Earlier this year, the 30-year-old golfer had bravely opened up about his struggles with mental health, shedding light on the challenges he faced. Despite his personal battles, Murray had achieved remarkable success in his golfing career, being recognized as one of the world's best junior players and clinching three IMG Junior World titles.

This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and support. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out for help. You can text or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 for immediate assistance.
