Who is Grayson Murray’s fiancée Christiana Ritchie? Late PGA golfer’s partner is an asset manager who showed off her impressive swing at the 2024 Masters
Christiana Ritchie, the fiancée of the late PGA golfer Grayson Murray, was set to marry the two-time winner before he sadly passed away on May 25, 2024.
The couple, who lived together in Florida, bonded over their shared love of golf and Christian faith when they met at the 2021 American Express tournament in Palm Springs.
He popped the question in December 2023 at a country club in Nashville, Tennessee, which he reportedly announced in a since-deleted Instagram post.
“The easiest decision of my life,” Murray wrote at the time. “I love you so much honey. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. God is so Great.’
While Ritchie keeps a low profile on social media, her LinkedIn reveals that she works as an Associate Asset Manager at One Real Estate Investment in Miami.

Like Murray, she is also an avid golfer: she was the captain of her high school’s varsity team and played golf throughout her time at the University of Southern California, where she earned a Bachelor of Real Estate Development in 2018.
Ritchie even showed off her impressive swing at the 2024 Masters last month, where she caddied for Murray in the Par 3 contest.
In January, he opened up about their relationship after his win at the Sony Open.
“Yeah, we just prayed,” he told Golf Monthly. “We prayed that the good Lord would look over us, and whatever the outcome, it wouldn’t change our lives.”

He continued, “I think I neglected that part of my life for a while, and meeting my fiancée and how our lives have kind of changed over the last three years, she’s committed her life to Christ, and I’ve committed my life to consecrated to Christ. Christ. That is what will be the first priority in our relationship going forward.”
Murray, who also revealed he was sober for eight months after winning the tournament in Hawaii, gushed about Ritchie while speaking to reporters.
“I now have a beautiful fiancé who I love so much and who supports me so much,” he told the media.
‘It makes everything so easy when I get inside the ropes here and everyone around me is really pulling on me. And they are there for me when I have those hard days, and I still have hard days. But I feel much calmer now in those ropes.’

The PGA Tour confirmed Murray’s death on Saturday, 24 hours after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas. He had told his playing partners that he was not feeling well.
No cause of death has been announced Commissioner Jay Monahan left “at a loss for words.”
“We were devastated to learn – and heartbroken to share – that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray passed away this morning,” Monahan said of the world number 58.
“The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a family member, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”
Murray was a brilliant prospect, winning three consecutive Callaway Junior World Championships between 2006 and 2008. He made his first appearance on the Korn Ferry Tour at age 16 and was the top-ranked golfer in his age group.
