Fuzzy Zoeller, the professional golfer who won a Masters, a U.S. Open and millions of fans with his gregarious personality, has died. He was 74.
Zoeller’s death was announced Thursday by his daughter. His cause and location of death were not released.
Though he earned legions of fans, Zoeller’s career took a nosedive after he made a racist joke about Tiger Woods at the 1997 Masters. Woods was in the middle of a dominant victory when Zoeller commented on what he would serve at the following year’s champions dinner.
“That little boy is driving well and he’s putting well. He’s doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him to not serve fried chicken next year,” Zoeller sai
