PGA Tour player Billy Hurley III’s father, Willard Hurley Jr. has been missing since July 19, news that his son made public during a press conference at the Quicken Loans National on Tuesday.

[quote_box_center]”I’m coming to you guys for help,” Hurley III said. “Last Sunday, nine days ago, he [Willard] took some clothes, took some cash, and no ones heard from him since…

“No one knows why he left, he’s been married to my mom for 30 years and now he’s gone. I just want to let him know that: Dad, we love you and we want you to come home.[/quote_box_center]

Willard Hurley (pictured below), 61-years old, is a retired police officer who resides in Leesburg, Va., with his wife. He was last seen driving a dark green 1998 Ford F-150 with license plate YWH-5898, according to reports.

If you know anything about Willard Hurley’s whereabouts, please reach out.

The Hurley family home is located just around 25 miles from the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, where this week’s Quicken Loans National is being played. Hurley III, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and oldest of four children, says he hopes his participation in the event will help draw attention to the case.

“Maybe, you know, a bartender who served him dinner sees this story on ‘Golf Central’ or whatever, and we can get a hit on his location or something,” Hurley III told ESPN.

Willard’s wife filed a missing persons report on Monday according to Leesburg police spokesperson Lt. Jeffrey Dube.

“Right now, we have no reason to believe that there’s any suspicious circumstances surrounding his disappearance,” Dube told ESPN. “Everything points to that he left his residence on his own volition.”

Dube also said Willard used a credit card to buy gas near Winchester, Va., on July 19, the day he left.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.
