Grayson Murray opens up about his struggle as a player on the PGA Tour
Recently, Grayson Murray made a tweet saying he has had enough and admitted to facing dreadful problems in his career and personal life. Murray mentioned in a tweet that he has sought help from the PGA Tour in the past, but the organization never responded amicably.
“I’ve struggled with injuries for the last five years. But those seem so minor to what I struggled with internal (sic). It takes someone struggling on tour to relate to what I have to say,” said Murray. The 27-year-old has no wife or girlfriend and plays the tour alone with no coach, paying his own way in hotels and airfares each week. “Sure, if I win once or twice a year, those costs don’t even matter – but who really does that except the top-10 guys every year?”

Murray told his Twitter followers that he had reached out to the PGA Tour for help. But sadly, all they are interested in is money said, Murray. He then took a dig at PGA Tour’s new PIP Fund. Grayson said all they do is promote and support the top 10 players.

Phil Mickelson extends his support
Amid this, Phil Mickelson offered his assistance. He said, “I’m sorry the tour has been so overwhelming, and if I can help in any way, I’d be happy to. It’s not an easy life for sure, and even winning every year can bring about other challenges.”
