The news from PGA Tour of the sad passing of Grayson Murray earlier today is devastating, not just as somebody who writes about golf but also being a recovered alcoholic with 10 years sobriety.
The nature of this disease is insidious. They say that addiction is the disease, but

Dear Mr. Matt Vincenzi,
Thank you for your recent tweet regarding concerns with certain players receiving a weather advantage in golf tournaments.
You seem particularly concerned that one golfer, Mr. Jon Rahm (formerly of Spain and now Legion XIII), may

@Daniel_Rapaport
You do realize it can still be the best field in golf and also be weaker than it previously was because LIV has split the game. These two things are not mutually exclusive.
@ToeTagginTambo
Yeah... I don't know what planet Dan Rapport is on here. Obviously pandering to the anti-Rory crowd and LIV bots. Finishing 15th at The Masters after holding a 4 shot lead entering Sunday is not the same as losing the Rocket Mortgage Classic by one stroke.
Imagine you have spent $2bn. It is your season ending event, your competition has weakest field of the year, you've signed additional flagship players...
All for you lowest audience in the US yet, with just 33,000 GLOBAL concurrent viewers, for FREE 🫣

#LIVGolfMiami
LIV Miami 1st round had the lowest average LIVE YouTube viewership of the 5 Domestic U.S. Events. Both Total Broadcast and Last 3 Hours averages down approximately 15% from Chicago (which was the prior lowest LIVE U.S. audience).
@Robert_Schroe
Absolutely. A number of comments here demonstrating my precise point. But, you can lead a horse to water... hopefully some read this and actually gain a deeper understanding of the ailment beyond the physical manifestation of the actual substance abuse
@LisaPed16559397
I referred to not knowing the finer details of his passing in my post. If he had a car accident, this would've been reported immediately to remove speculation given his previous open comments about addiction. So, my point is, whether it was a heart attack or suicide or overdose
@HankHaney
Fact, not opinion.
Why LIV Golf players can't get OWGR points:
1. No clear method to qualify for tour.
2. No cut.
3. 54 hole tournaments as standard.
4. 48 player fields as standard.
5. Tour must operate for a full year prior to consideration by OWGR.
Performance of
#LIVGolf
at
#TheMasters
⬇️
5/13 missed the cut
3/13 were 43rd or worse
1/13 was 22nd
4/13 were Top 12
13/13 were 9+ strokes off the winning total
In a field of 89 players, with former champs and amateurs not expected to feature, it was a disappointing showing.
@flushingitgolf
Nah, we will just all add an asterisk to the winner this year because Gooch isn't playing 🫠
Or LIV could adjust the areas where they failed for OWGR 🤷♂️
@Daniel_Rapaport
Yeah. Losing the Rocket Mortgage Classic is a tad different to losing the US Open in your most disappointing loss across a 17 year career, after a decade of contending for majors and failing to win one despite being priced at single figure odds in a vast majority of them.
@DrDFS_Australia
I can only imagine how difficult it would be to maintain early sobriety under the sort of pressure and exposure that a PGA Tour golfer goes through
@Keimer27
All you've done is highlight the point of the post, that majority of the public are so misinformed about alcoholism that think the only way people die from alcoholism is direct alcohol poisoning. I'd say most likely cause was suicide. But if you read the post you'd understand.
10 years ago coming to in a cell, returning to my room in a halfway house as home, 30 days seemed a lifetime...
3,652 days later I wouldn't have believed you if you said you'll be sober, have a job I love, be a solo full-time Dad, or an amazing partner.
Yet here we are.

Truly classless.
#USOpen
Hot take, but I can't stand the U-S-A chants in an individual stroke play tournament.
This isn't the Ryder Cup, Solheim Cup, President's Cup, or the Olympics.
Bryson is not representing his country.
He is playing for himself. As every golfer is.

LIV Golf is a small group of mostly irrelevant golfers, playing on largely unknown courses, and with no apparent motivation to win other than for more money.
No wonder viewership is so low.

He was never vaccinated and a well known antivaxxer. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you were so desperate for this young man to have died from a vaccine? Get well soon.
@AndyMeldrumAU
Alcoholism and addiction is a disease of dis-ease. A constantly feeling of not feeling right in the world and using substances wanting to adjust reality to feel better. That might manifest in depression or anxiety or suicide. So agree that they are often linked
@LouieGe75531035
So this actually does a disservice to his death and the disease he actually suffered from. Grayson was an antivaxxer. So maybe it was COVID.
@Pay22Dollars
Part of being a recovered alcoholic or addiction is helping to spread the message, to help others get sober and help the general public learn more about the disease so they can understand better what addicts suffer from.

U-S-A! U-S-A! chants as the last pairing walks up the first, and the Big Golfer is already whipping monstrous galleries into a frenzy. Everybody going wild at everything he does. I think Bryson has … become the crowd favorite this weekend.
Ten years go, took this photo of the sunrise from the halfway house I was living in before getting sober. It was about 5:30am and I was getting ready to bike 6km to unload containers for minimum wage in the heat of the day.
How life has changed, and only for the better.

@Scavvvv
Please go back and read the post. You've literally hit on the misunderstanding most struggles with in regard to the disease of addiction. You can die from this disease without consuming the substance. I have no idea if he died sober or not. But that's irrelevant to my post.

Here's the issue. Most businesses need to generate something called REVENUE.
LIV Golf spend more in 14 events than the PGA Tour generate in a full season of 50+ established events with sponsors and broadcasters.

As worn out as Mclroy was after the Masters and his need for an off season, LIV would be perfect for him. Problem is I don’t think there’s a team that wants him on it because they’d have to deal with all his bs.

He went through a dreadful slump in his game, went from 35th in the world to outside the top 500, and nearly quit the game just 10 months ago having been one of golf's rising stars to then come back and win.
I think he is allowed to display whatever emotion he likes.
