(Reuters) -Two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died on Saturday, a day after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab (NYSE:) Challenge in Forth Worth, Texas, the PGA said in a statement.
American Murray, who was 30, won his most recent title at this year’s Sony (NYSE:) Open and had pulled out of the Charles Schwab tournament during the second round citing an illness.
Murray reached a career-high 46th in the world rankings after his Sony Open win.
“We were devastated to learn – and are heartbroken to share – that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement.
“The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same.”
The PGA did not disclose a cause of death. Monahan said the tour decided to continue the tournament after consulting with Murray’s family.
