The Grayson Murray Classic, a charity tournament created to honor the life and legacy of two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray, will be played today at Raleigh Country Club in Murray’s North Carolina hometown.
Tour pros Brooks Koepka, Chesson Hadley, Jason Gore, Stephan Jaeger, Jason Kokrak, Martin Flores, Steve Wheatcroft and Richy Werenski will be among those competing in the inaugural event, with proceeds benefiting the Grayson Murray Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing mental health and addiction care.
Murray bravely shared his personal experience with anxiety, depression and addiction before his death by suicide in May 2024. Murray’s parents, Eric and Terry Murray, launched the foundation to carry forward his mission – as Grayson himself wrote, to “help the ones that want to be helped but might not have the help they need financially.” READ MORE
PGA Tour pros Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown have teamed up to bring a high-tech indoor golf experience to Augusta, Georgia, home of the Masters.
Kisner and Brown, who both live in nearby Aiken, South Carolina, are the investors behind a Back Nine Golf simulator facility located less than five miles from Augusta National, per The Augusta Chronicle. The facility features the system developed for TGL, the indoor golf league spearheaded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and in which Kisner is a competitor, the report said.
The location is a membership club, but non-members can play by appointment during regular business hours, the franchise’s operator and manager, Tristan Sparkle, told the newspaper. READ MORE
Cassie Sengul tried swimming, horseback riding, cheerleading, soccer and softball but could never keep up with her teammates.
Sengul, 19, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy – a brain disorder that causes problems with normal motor function – at around age 2. During her early teenage years, Sengul had a life-altering conversation with her softball coach, who told her: “You don’t really have a softball swing. It’s more of a golf swing, so you should give it a try just for fun.”
She is now a college sophomore who plays for NCAA Division III Drew University in Madison, New Jersey, and is nationally and internationally ranked at adaptive golf.
Sengul will defend her women’s title at the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Adaptive Championship starting today in Telford, Pennsylvania. READ MORE
