Two-Time PGA Tour Winner Grayson Murray Dies Saturday Morning

Two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died Saturday morning, the Tour confirmed.

Murray withdrew Friday late in his second round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, citing an illness.

In a memo to the membership that was released Saturday afternoon, commissioner Jay Monahan wrote: “The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. There is nothing we can do but mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”

Monahan said that, after a conversation with Murray’s parents, tournament play at Colonial would continue.

“They were adamant that Grayson would want us to do so,” Monahan said. “As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes.”

Murray, 30, won the Sony Open in a playoff earlier this year, ending a six-year winless drought during which he’d struggled both mentally and physically.

Murray, who was profiled in this in-depth piece by Golf Channel in 2017, had been open about his battles with anxiety and depression. He said in January that he sought treatment in the past few years for alcohol abuse but had been sober for several months.

“Grayson was the absolute best,” his caddie, Jay Green, told GolfChannel.com via text message. “Not only was he an incredible, thoughtful and generous boss, he was an even better friend. He truly would do anything for anyone. He has the best family, and my heart goes out to them. We will all miss him deeply.”

Following his victory at Waialae, Murray spoke optimistically about his future, saying that he had rediscovered his faith and was engaged to be married to Christiana Ritchie, whom he met in 2021.

“I wouldn’t trade anything,” Murray said at the time. “I have a beautiful fiancée. I have beautiful parents. I have beautiful nephews, siblings. Everyone in my life right now who is close to me, who has been through the struggles with me, it’s all a team effort. I think this is just the start of something really special.”

Growing up, Murray was one of the best prospects in the country, winning the prestigious Junior Worlds three times and becoming, at age 16, then the second-youngest to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour. Though he bounced around in college, Murray made an immediate impact once he landed on the PGA Tour, claiming the 2017 Barbasol Championship as a 22-year-old rookie.

“Best thing and worst thing that ever happened to me was winning my rookie year but also feeling like I was invincible,” Murray said in January. He said he often drank to excess while at tournaments while battling his personal demons.

Murray, who spent time on the PGA and Korn Ferry tours over the last five years, regained his PGA Tour status this year after winning twice on the secondary circuit in 2023 and believed he was better equipped to handle the challenges of Tour life.

“It took me a long time to get to this point,” he said. “That was over seven years ago. I’m a different man now.”

Murray had made the cut in the first two majors of the year, including last week at the PGA Championship, where he tied for 43rd.

I don’t want to say it was the vaxx but.......

All you can say at this point is it was LIKELY THE VAXXXXXINE. The more shots you have, the more likely you will die "unexpectantly."

What's important here is that:

NO ONE get any more shots including the scam flu shots

Investigations start into the LARGE number of excess deaths AND prosecutors start preparing for indictments for those who violated Nuremberg principals AND civil rights of the vaxxxxxxxinated.

ALL of the vaxxxxxxxxines are banned until proven safe by real studies, not the gubermint/PHARMA scams we have now

Murray Grayson was in Bermuda for a competition during the time Bermuda required visitors to be Covid vaccination ('fully vaccinated'). It's likely he was vaxxed.

May 2022 Bermuda Required visitors/tourists to have a Covid 'vaccine':

Murray Grayson was injured in a scooter accident in Bermuda in October, 2022. Note the URL is pushing alcoholism/depression as cause of death:

ransomnote: Bermuda quietly lifted the Covid 'vaccine' requirement in November, 2022. They don't state it directly, but they lift the travel authorization requirement even though other Bermuda government docs surface in search attempts saying the vax is required.

Pfizer pays them (the press) to not mention his age. After all, it might make people think that the vaccines are really dangerous or something. /sarcasm or perhaps not

[rexthecat]

I read at another source that it was suicide. But it wasn’t an official source, so we’ll have to wait.

[Fury]

What’s missing are facts.

But there’s always room for rampant, ignorant and often low intellect speculation.

[Deo volente]

We do have to wait. It could have been anything. There is a report that he told his playing partners before walking off the course yesterday that he was sick.

[zeestephen]

My first guess - suicide.

[CaptainK]

Because NOBODY ever dies from abusing alcohol.

[Prince of Space]

That’s why an autopsy should be done, to put the rumors to rest.

[Mr. K]

"...and low intellect speculation."

Like yours?

[Fury]

Except I didn’t speculate on the cause.

Do better.

[bella1]

Suicide

[bella1]

Freerepublic is becoming less intellectual by the minute. He died from suicide.

[dfwgator]

If true, one of the things they always say is that the days leading up to it, the person actually acts happier than normal, as if they know all their problems are about to be lifted.

[tennmountainman]

Sad that he took his own life.

[bigdaddy45]

He killed himself. He had well documented bouts with depression. When you have zero idea what you’re talking about, it’s always a good idea to keep your yap shut.

[CaptainK]

I take no pleasure in saying I was correct in my assessment of what caused the death of this young man.

[Fury]

And the posters that eluded to Mr. Murray dying from something associated with the COVID-19 vaccine? They’re on to the next death to exploit for their narrative.

And it’s usually the same posters thread after thread.

Just utter cowardice.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

It’s hard to dismiss it entirely - I get your point, but still when a seemingly healthy 30 year old passes away “suddenly” without any description of his untimely death, people will draw their own conclusions.

Complications for vaccines, “long covid”, side effects from covid, mental health, depression, drug & alcohol abuse, and the simple fact that the current state of the world makes a NYC sewer look clean is clearly ratcheting up the death rate of young people lately.

Something is going on in society everywhere.

[Mr. K]

Neither did I.. Do Better yourself...
