Grayson Murray's death at the age of 30 has raised several questions as no cause of death was cited either by PGA tour or by the US Golfer and two-time PGA tour winner's family members.
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan gave details about the demise a day after Murray withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge at Fort Worth, Texas citing unspecified illness.
In 2021, Murray revealed on social media that he was receiving treatment for alcoholism. He was also open about his mental health struggles after winning in January.
«Yeah, my parents have been through, you know, hell and back basically for the last six years with me fighting some mental stuff,» Murray said at the time. «It's not easy on me, and the people around me that love me, they don't like to see me down. They've been my No. 1 supporters. There's a few friends as well that have been there and it makes these moments a lot more special.»
A 2021 alcohol-related incident at a hotel bar in Hawaii led to his suspension from the PGA. Afterward, he posted to social media. «Why was I drunk?» he wrote, adding that he was as an «alcoholic that hates everything to do with the PGA Tour life and that's my scapegoat.»
After a successful 40-foot putt to win the Sony Open in Hawaii in January this year, Murray rose to 46th in the Official World Golf Ranking, a career high. The event marked the height of a comeback run after several volatile years as Murray struggled with his mental health.
