The PGA Tour announced on Saturday that golfer Grayson Murray died on Saturday morning. He was 30 years old.

“We were devastated to learn – and heartbroken to share – that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement.

“The PGA TOUR is a family and when you lose a family member, you are never the same. We mourn the loss of Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.

I expressed our deepest condolences to Grayson’s parents and during the conversation they asked us to continue with the tournament games, insisting that this is what Grayson would have wanted us to do. As difficult as it will be, we want to respect their wishes.

“The PGA TOUR is making grief counselors available at both tournament sites, as well as virtually for those who are not in-person. I am en route to Fort Worth and will share more information as soon as we can.”
