Paige Spiranac ‘breaks down’ after Grayson Murray’s death and says goodbye to him with emotional message

The shocking death of Grayson Murray has turned the golf world on its head. Murray, who had just withdrawn from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas, died Saturday at the age of 30, leading to an outpouring of grief and sorrow from around golf as his colleagues come to grip with his passing.

Former pro golfer and current influencer Paige Spiranac was friendly with Murray, and many remember a flirtatious interaction concerning the two from 2022. Spiranac has become the latest to pay tribute to Murray in an emotional social media post that revealed the nature of their relationship.

When he first met Spiranac, Murray was a junior golf prodigy, regarded as one of the top golfing prospects in the United States. He won the Junior Worlds on three occasions, and he recorded his first PGA Tour win — the 2017 Barbasol Championship — when he was only 22 years old.

It was well known that Murray had battled anxiety and depression in recent years, and he had been sober for several months following treatment for alcohol abuse. The two-time PGA Tour winner had ended a six-year drought in between victories earlier this year when he won the Sony Open in Honolulu, and Spiranac is only the latest to point out Murray’s generosity and kindness in light of his personal turbulence.
