Professional Golfer Grayson Murray Lifeless At 30 Years Previous

Golf star Grayson Murray has died at 30 years old, the PGA Tour announced on Saturday … just hours after withdrawing from a tournament with an illness.

Murray was in Fort Worth, Texas, where he was competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge … but he pulled himself from the tourney during Friday’s second round, citing an illness. No further information was given at the time.

Saturday morning, the Tour announced the young, talented golfer had passed away.

Monahan says the CSC — currently in the third round — will continue, despite the tragic events … ’cause that’s what the Murray family wanted.

“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.”

Legendary broadcaster Jim Nantz, who is calling the event for CBS, addressed Murray’s death as they came on the air … in what was a very emotional moment.

Murray last won a PGA Tour event a few months ago — in January at the Sony Open in Hawaii — snapping a 6-plus year winless streak.

Grayson’s first Tour victory came at the Barbasol Championship in mid-2017.

Murray was also a decorated amateur before turning pro … winning three Junior World Championships.
