“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.

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.

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

He played on the Hawaii Pacific University Men's Golf team and earned a Masters degree in Communications. He also played college golf at Rutgers University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.

Fighting back tears, Hurley, in the field at this week’s Quicken Loans National, said his father drove off in his truck on July 19 with some clothes and cash, and hasn’t been heard from since.
