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 Murray, who had just withdrawn from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas, died Saturday at the age of 30, leading to an outpouring of grief and sorrow from around golf as his colleagues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.
Spiranac took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday morning to reveal her shock at the “incredibly kind” Murray’s death on Saturday, a day after he had withdrawn in the second round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. She noted that she had known Murray since their days in junior golf together, and she remembered how he would go out of his way to congratulate her on her achievements — “whether big or small.”
