Grayson Murray passed away after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge

On Saturday, May 25, the golf fraternity received the terrible news of Grayson Murray's demise. Murray was competing at the Charles Schwab Challenge but pulled out before finishing the second round on Friday, May 24, citing illness.

Murray had made a terrific comeback earlier this year after winning the Sony Open in Hawaii. This was his second PGA Tour win and his first in seven years. A talented golfer since childhood, Murray won three straight Callaway Junior World Championships from 2006 to 2008 and also reached the top of his age group rankings.

Grayson Murray's first professional win came on the Korn Ferry Tour when he was 22 years old. He won the 2016 Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship after beating Cameron Smith by one stroke. This win helped him finish second on the Korn Ferry Tour money list and earn a PGA Tour card for the 2016–17 season.

In his debut season, Murray claimed the Barbasol Championship after defeating Chad Collins by one stroke. However, after this, he had to wait a long time to win another title. He lost his card and went back to the Korn Ferry Tour. His resurgence happened last year when he won the AdventHealth Championship, beating Wilson Furr and Rico Hoey by one shot.

In the same season, he notched another win at the Simmons Bank Open. His three-shot win over Mason Andersen, Carter Jenkins, and Jamie Lovemark helped him finish fourth on the Korn Ferry Tour Points list and earn a PGA Tour card for this season.

Grayson Murray took full advantage of his return and claimed victory at the Waiʻalae Country Club, his first start of the season. He defeated An Byeong-hun and Keegan Bradley in the playoffs and secured his card for two years.
