PGA Tour stars are honoring Grayson Murray by wearing black and red ribbons for the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge on Sunday after following the golfer's tragic death at age 30.

Earlier Sunday, the Korn Ferry Tour held a moment of silence in honor of Murray, who won three times on that circuit before moving on to the PGA. Play was stopped at the Visit Knoxville Open for three minutes on Sunday as Murray's image was shown on tournament scoreboards.

Murray withdrew during the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge, saying that he was not feeling well. Less than 24 hours later it was revealed that he passed.


On Sunday, Murray's parents Eric and Terry released a statement revealing that their son died from suicide.

'Life wasn't always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now,' the statement read.

Murray reveal in January that he had been sober for eight months while embracing the Christian faith.

'My story is not finished. I think it's just beginning,' Murray said at a tournament in Hawaii. 'I hope I can inspire a lot of people going forward that have their own issues.'

Murray's parents voiced a similar hope following their son's tragic passing.

'Please honor Grayson by being kind to one another,' read Eric and Terry Murray's statement. 'If that becomes his legacy, we could ask for nothing else.'

Many PGA Tour stars have openly shared their grief over Murray's passing, including Peter Malnati, who played with the 30-year-old during the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge on Thursday.

'Losing him is really hard,' the overwhelmed Malnati told CBS Sports on Saturday. 'I didn't even know Grayson all that well, but I spent the last two days with him. And we get so worked up about a bad break here or a good break there…'

Malnati trailed off at that point as he began to cry.

'We're so competitive out here,' he continued after composing himself. 'We all want to beat each other. And then something like this happens and you realize we're all just humans. It's just a really hard day.'

Malnati then referenced Murray's public battle with depression: 'You look at Grayson and you see someone who has visibly, outwardly struggled in the past and he was open about it and you see him kind of get his life back to a place where he's feeling good about things. It's just so sad.'
