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

Despite the immense loss, Murray’s parents requested that tournament play continue, a testament to their son's passion for the sport. Grief counselors were deployed at venues hosting PGA TOUR and Korn Ferry Tour events to offer support during this difficult time.
