Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and one of golf's most gregarious characters has died, the PGA Tour confirmed Thursday. He was 74.

"The PGA TOUR is saddened by the passing of Fuzzy Zoeller. Fuzzy was a true original whose talent and charisma left an indelible mark on the game of golf," PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement Thursday. "Fuzzy combined competitive excellence with a sense of humor that endeared him to fans and fellow players alike. We celebrate his remarkable legacy and extend our deepest condolences to his family."

A cause of death was not immediately available. Brian Naugle, the tournament director of the Insperity Invitational in Houston, told The Associated Press that Zoeller's daughter called him Thursday with the news.
