Two-time major golf champion Fuzzy Zoeller has died at the age of 74, the PGA Tour confirmed on November 27, 2025. A family member shared the news.
Born Frank Urban “Fuzzy” Zoeller Jr. on November 11, 1951, in Indiana, he turned professional in 1973 and quickly established himself as one of the most gifted and relaxed performers on tour. His biggest breakthrough came in 1979, when he won the Masters Tournament on his first attempt—becoming only the second golfer in history to do so. Zoeller added a second major title at the 1984 U.S. Open, winning in a dramatic playoff at Winged Foot. Over his career, he secured 10 PGA Tour victories and later added titles on the Champions Tour. 
His sportsmanship was acknowledged when he received the prestigious Bob Jones Award in 1985. Despite his many achievements, Zoeller’s legacy was shadowed by a controversial remark about Tiger Woods at the 1997 Masters, for which he apologized; the incident followed him for years.
Zoeller is survived by his four children—Sunny, Heidi, Gretchen, and Miles—and several grandchildren who remain part of his close family circle. His wife, Diane Zoeller, had passed away earlier in 2021, leaving behind a family deeply connected to the sport and to his life’s journey.
