PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray was honored by his fellow golfers with red and black ribbons on the final day of the Charles Schwab Challenge Sunday after he died by suicide on Saturday.
Murray, who died at 30 years old, was a two-time PGA Tour winner. He was competing at the Charles Schwab Challenge but withdrew on Friday during the second round.
The red and black symbolize Murray’s hometown Carolina Hurricanes, per a request from his family.
When competing on Sundays, the Raleigh, N.C. native wore red and black out of respect for the team.
The Hurricanes also posted support for Murray following this week’s events.
“Grayson loved the Canes, and we thank the TOUR and its golfers for honoring Grayson with these red and black ribbons today,” the team posted on its X account.
Murray’s parents announced on Sunday that his death was a suicide.
“We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone,” Eric and Terry Murray said in a statement. “It’s surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world. It’s a nightmare.”
“We have so many questions that have no answers,” the Murray’s added. “But one.
“Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and — it seems — by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and will be missed.”
