Many PGA Tour golfers and caddies can be seen wearing red and black ribbon pins as players honor Grayson Murray following his surprising death on May 25, 2024. Golfers were asked to wear the pins during the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. The red and black pins are a nod to Murray’s fandom of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.
“The Murray family has requested that players and caddies wear black or red ribbons as a show of support for Grayson during today’s final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge,” a note from the PGA Tour read which was placed alongside a bucket of pins on May 26. “Grayson wore red and black on PGA Tour Sundays as a tribute for being a longtime fan of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.”
Murray had played the majority of the first two rounds of the Charles Schwab Challenge before withdrawing from the tournament on Friday, May 24. The golfer had a strong 2024 on the course winning the Sony Open in January and posting a T-10 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship less than two weeks before his death.
Here’s a look at the note from the PGA Tour left for players and caddies ahead of the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge.
