Did it green up with the rest of the lawn and then die? Seems like Take All Root Rot. Does the spot retain water? I'd go get some Scotts disease x and apply a thin layer of peat moss.

Most of my front yard looks like this. It never greened up after the winter. I’ve raked out the dead grass, aerated, and put some seed down. Not sure if that was the right thing to do, but it looks like it’s getting better and some of the seed is germinating

I had some spots like that, roots seemed rotten and grass would be bleach white. I thinks it’s fungal because saw some spider web like fungal stuff on dew grass blades one am. I could pull up st August strands and roots are short and very dark.

I sprayed with fungal spray.. couple weeks later did Scott’s disease ex and am slowly applying peat moss to the worst spots . Seems to be working. I also applied grub ex because I was really paranoid about it.

I had the same problem with my centipede. Simpson sod in Covington said it was "winter kill from the last freeze we had. He said it can be spotty kills just like your picture....looks just like my grass. Dig up the dead grass and replace with seed or sod.
He told me he lost 5 acres at his sod farm. D

My centipede lawn is in the same shape. It happened because of the freeze we had not too long ago. Things were turning green then hit with a frost or freeze. If it happened to be a low spot that held water it made it even worse.
