PGA, LIV GOLF : Makes tough and terrîble decisions Concerning Late Grayson Murray’s debt owed to Rory and they are prepared for the next action to take. Full details below ⬇️⬇️
Grayson Murray’s tragic passing has shocked the golf world, with Rory McIlroy the latest high-profile star to deliver an emotional message at the RBC Canadian Open
Rory McIlroy has described Grayson Murray’s death as “incredibly sad”, saying the 30-year-old’s passing highlighting how “vulnerable and fragile” top athletes can be.
Police were called to Murray’s Florida residence, where he lived with his fiancee, at around 10:30am local time on Saturday, less than 24 hours after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge, and his cause of death has been revealed as carbon monoxide poisoning.
Murray had previously openly discussed his struggles with alcohol and his mental health over the years, and it was only in 2023 that he regained his place on the PGA Tour. Tributes have poured in from across the sports world, with four-time major winner McIlroy one of the latest high-profile names to address Murray’s passing.
“It’s incredibly sad, first and foremost, and I think we’re all thinking of Grayson’s family and hoping that they’re doing OK and getting through this incredibly tough period,” McIlroy said ahead of the RBC Canadian Open.
“It’s cliche, but it puts everything in perspective. At the end of the day golf is golf and, yeah, we play it for a living, but it pales in comparison to the things that actually matter in life.
“I’ve had to realise that at times, and I’m still sort of working my way through that in terms of not making golf the be-all and end-all for me. I think it slaps you in the face when something like that happens last week.
