Dozens of PGA Tour golfers gathered for a solemn celebration of life for Grayson Murray ahead of the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
Scottie Scheffler and PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan were among those who spoke at a celebration of life for Grayson Murray in Dublin, Ohio.“All of us at the PGA Tour carry a heavy heart and will for a long time to come,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said, his voice cracking at times. “When you lose a family member, you can never quite put all the pieces back together.
Murray's death was a shock to players, caddies and everyone involved in the tour. He was a prodigious talent as a junior, won the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky as a rookie and struggled with alcoholism and tour discipline and anxiety. He spoke at the Sony Open about feeling like a failure for not living up to expectations.
Monahan a week later stepped away for more than a month with anxiety-induced physical and mental issues. During that time away, Monahan turned off his cellphone for a month. “A line in that text will always stay with me — ‘Jay I just want you to get healthy. I know everything is doing to work out for our tour and for the better,'” Monahan said."He offered not condemnation but compassion. Instead of walking away from me, he offered to walk with me.Monahan said similar stories were shared in a private service for Murray and his family on Monday.
