He had only reached the age of 30 years. - Famous golfer passes away.
Golf professional Grayson Murray has tragically passed away at the age of 30. The PGA Tour made this devastating announcement through their X-Channel, expressing their deep sorrow: "We were devastated when we learned of Grayson Murray's passing this morning."
No details were disclosed about his cause of death. Murray suffered from alcohol addiction and depression for many years, openly expressing his struggles on social media in 2021. He also criticized the PGA for their lack of assistance in managing these issues.
Murray competed in a tournament this week in Fort Worth, Texas, but dropped out just before the end of the second round. The PGA offered support to the players with counselors available on-site.
In an emotional statement, the PGA Tour shared: "The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a family member, you're never the same again. We grieve for Grayson and pray for strength for his family. I reached out to Murray's parents to offer our heartfelt condolences, and during our discussion, they requested that we continue with the tournament. They firmly believed that's what Grayson would have wanted."
Murray's career flourished initially, earning him three IMG Junior World Champion titles. In 2017, he triumphantly won the Barbasol Championships. However, he later confessed to playing drunk for three consecutive days during this tournament. Murray described it as the "best and worst" thing ever to happen to him, as it unleashed a side of him that was not truly him, and almost felt like a "monster within."
The low point: In 2022, Murray's life took a dark turn after a rollercoaster accident in the Bermudas. He felt like a failure with wasted talent. A year later, he underwent a successful detox, returning to the PGA Tour the same year. During this time, Grayson reported being sober for over eight months with the love and support of his fiancée and parents.
