may his soul rest in peace
Very sad, very young, Rest In Peace Grayson.
All these young people dying.
🙏
Moment to recognise the class of Jim Nantz in having to deliver news that no sports commentator would ever imagine they'd have to. Rest well Grayson.
😢😂so sad
When did fit, young 30 year olds die?
Everyone got the man made cause yet?
What's with all the young stars passing away at a young age lately?
We have Alice Stewart, Akira Toriyama, Yoshitaka Murayama, Darren Dutchyshen, Morgan Spurlock, and now an athlete like Grayson Murray.
In light of Grayson dying at just 30 years of age, perhaps now is the time for the PGA to make life skills training mandatory for its players so that they are better equipped to handle pressure, manage mental health issues, find positive means to deal with physical and mental pain, and to stop more young people passing away.
If the NFL can mandate players, coaches, and support staff to undergo life skills training, now is the time for the PGA, LIV Golf, and LPGA to do the same.
Safe and effective… RIP Grayson

Grayson had suffered a concussion earlier in life. The following is from the book Concussion Rescue by Dr. Kabran Chapek (I have no affiliation with him or the book, but I thought it might help people realize something that may have contributed to Grayson's issues) "What I hadn’t realized until I began working at the Amen Clinics is that every brain injury matters, large and small, and that brain injuries are a major source of psychiatric illness (even though the greater medical community has largely dismissed the link between TBI and mental illness)..;. Research shows that head injuries increase the risk of: • Depression • Anxiety and panic disorders • Psychosis • PTSD • Suicide • Drug and alcohol abuse • ADHD • Learning problems • Borderline and antisocial personality disorders • Dementia • Aggression • Homelessness • Victimization • Loss of or changes in sense of smell or taste…Head injuries without a loss of consciousness can cause long-term problems and mental illness. Even playing contact sports without having concussions can cause damage to the brain, and the damage is cumulative. T—Toxins: Alcohol or drug abuse, exposure to toxins in the environment (mold, pollution) or from personal products, and cancer chemotherapy can all worsen brain function and make it harder to heal from brain injury. M—Mental health: Brain injuries are a significant cause of mental illness. Brain injuries are not considered (most of the time) as a cause of mental illness, however, studies have shown that TBI can cause attentional problems, depression, anxiety, and even psychosis."
My brother in law decided to quit on life too. Mixed emotions even all thee years later. Left a family n kids behind. Awful feeling
The new normal…
This is so tragic and so young – makes no sense. Our deepest sympathies to his family and fiancee.
U just never know what people r going through ❤❤❤. For him it was a moment of time ❤.
It‘s unexplainable sadness!
Classic pfizer case…. But still nobody blame them. I have to admit this was the perfect murder from healthcare, still nobody guess
Shows that depression can be within anyone how ever successful you are. So sad he took his own life. RIP
Only love couldnt keep him alive❤
Im sorry sweetie❤
Depression sucks
I have depression. Its hard
Terrible.. dam.
Suicide – Warning his soul was compressed from the 3rd to the 2nd dimension in complete darkness. Suicide is a path to hell. Ask CERN they know if you think it's gibberish 😂
I HOPE YOUR AT PEACE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES
Sleep well Grayson. Finally at Peace 😔
I didn't think it was appropriate when Trevor said Grayson wasn't the most popular player on tour. The man just died…….show some respect.
thats not normal
Condolences and very sad. Why are so many young people dying?
Broken hearted. You were a fighter Grayson.
Truly sad news. Wish people would reach out. Prayers to him and his family.
I'm so sorry to hear this.
I got some things that would be helpful against crime and weakness that has plagued us and growing increasingly for 7+ decades. 1946 Dr. Spock who got babbler degrees wrote a book of the subversives who had/still come inside to destroy America from the inside as professors,… He wrote to NOT discipline nor schedules for YOUR "kids" by the 60s he said "I WAS WRONG YOU ARE CREATING MONSTERS." Arrogant ignorance of FAKE VIRTUES DIDN'T / won't listen. Also, the push for NOT being tough on your boys but because of the hormone testosterone be lenient on them, JUST THE opposite, they have got to learn control they are NOT the end all and be all, narcissist. STOP BREAKING THINGS, & BREAKING HEARTS! and blaming other, weak/criminals/… extortionist…
WEAK LOOSER GRAYSON IM GREAT AT GOLF HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND AND A GREAT FAMILY, BUT IM LOOSER GRAYSON SO I WILL KILL MYSELF LOOSER
😢
Can we assume he took his own life? Very sad either way.
As a suicide survivor, my golf loving brother killed himself at age 21, I find the PGA Tour response was very weak. As they missed a opportunity to remind us all to make mental health a priority in our lives. We look to be healthy in every other way, why not mental health too? Oh right, you're a weakling if you have some mental health issues and its much better to kill yourself than admit you need help, or to get help. Right PGA Tour???
I held my borderline rage for a couple days out of respect for Grayson, who was obviously more troubled than anyone knew, but to come out and use your fake 'god' as a reason to praise the guy like Simpson did, when he took his own life is as disgusting as it gets. Was it 'gods' plan to have him kill himself? Where was 'god' when he was getting ready to do it? Why didn't your 'god' reach out to you and tell you to save one of his?
To exploit your silly fairytales on national television as a reason he had found his way, only to take his own life not only disproves your 'faith', but shows how ignorant and out of touch with reality Simpson and the bible thumpers are.
Grayson was a very talented golfer this is truly tragic. He was golfing so well too which makes it all that more shocking. RIP.
