Grayson Murray, an American golfer who won two\u00a0PGA Tour events, has died at the age of 30.<\/p>\n

News of Murray\u2019s death was announced by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, who said in a statement: \u201cWe were devastated to learn \u2013 and are heartbroken to share \u2013 that Grayson Murray passed away this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monahan told reporters that the PGA \u201cdon\u2019t know the circumstances around Grayson\u2019s passing\u201d at this point, and no cause of death has yet been given.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

News of Murray\u2019s death came one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge event on Friday due to illness.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s management company GSE Worldwide said in a statement: \u201cWe will hold off on commenting until we learn further details, but out heart aches for his family, his friends and all who loved him during this very difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murray was born in October 1993 and had a very successful youth golfing career, winning three straight Junior World Championships from 2006 to 2008. He first qualified for the PGA Tour in 2016, at the age of 22.<\/p>\n

He won two titles across his career, one in 2017 at the Barbasol Championship, and another at the\u00a0Sony Open in Hawaii earlier this year.<\/p>\n

World number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, said in a tribute: \u201cObviously the news hasn\u2019t really sunk in quite yet, but I\u2019m thinking about his family and praying hard for all of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine how difficult of a time this is. I got to know Grayson a bit better over the last six months or so and there\u2019s not really a way to put into words how sad and tragic it is, but I\u2019m thinking about his family.\u201d<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
