    I always liked Fuzzy Zoeller. He was a terrific golfer and I know what a difficult game golf is to play well. As far as the controversy, Fuzzy was drinking and said some things that he regretted later trying to be funny. I have done the same thing myself, and so have many people. I wish him well.

    He didn’t have a racist bone in his body. Just look at what Jim Thorpe said about him. He liked to drink yes. But I think the entire thing was the beginning of our woke culture.

      @NamelessRider 2 месяца назад +6

      Ask any of the players on the Tour, especially the African-Americans, and they will tell you he was NOT a racist by any means. The entire story about Tiger Woods and the Master's dinner was inaccurately reported and blown out of proportion.

      I have known Fuzzy for 30+ years and last Played with and spent time with him last year and the garbage in this vid has never been mentioned either by Fuzzy or anyone that we came in contact with, either friends, acquaintances or fans!
      His Tiger comment was an unfortunate comment though that has been long buried.
      Financially, Fuzzie's doin just fine, lol
      As has probably been mentioned, he's 72yo, not 81😂😂
      Sounds like the same guy that did the law firm's edits on Fuzzie's Wiki page did the edits for this vid.
      Stay Well👊

    I heard the Tiger comment, it was a light hearted joke, he meant absolutely nothing by it, and the media took it and ran with it, making it into something it clearly was not, he was smeared, and Tiger wouldn’t say one word to defend him, lost respect for Tiger after that.

    • @garyhart3408
      @garyhart3408 Месяц назад

      So you lost respect for the person that was insulted, but you still respect the person who did the insulting.
      Tiger did say that he was shocked to hear that comment, but I believe the two of them got along just fine in the years after.
      Why should tiger have to go to the media, and smooth things out for fuzzy when he was the one that made the mistake.
      People should think before they open their mouth.

    I played in pro-am with Fuzzy and found him to be a great guy. He was very engaging with his amateur partners, very helpful with distances, shot selections, and green reading on putts. Fast forward 20+ years and I played the course he owns across the river from Louisville, Kentucky and he remembered the pro-am, the tournament, the course and, to my surprise…me…even a few putts I made to help the team. So…what’s being said in this video is b_ _lls_ _t!

  • @Pronzini1
    @Pronzini1 2 месяца назад +3

    He has/had a strange swing. Held his hands very low and addressed the ball very close to the hosel. His weight went to his back foot for a long time, and he used he powerful wrists to propel the ball great distances. He played hungover, like John Daly, quite often, but with his sunglasses in place, most folks never knew. He won two major titles, so he did something right.

    A reporter stuck a mic in Fuzzys face right after he had just finished his 3rd double vodka! The resulting comment and finger snap cost him millions starting with WalMart dropping him by the next day! I don't think Fuzzy was raciest but more likely a little upset that a 19 year old was getting such attention? However, I think Tiger at the time was tried of the old guard like Fuzzy , Snead who came across as being a little raciest??????????? Davis Love tried to defuse the situation, but Tiger and his camp along with the slanderous media had a field day with this incident at the expense of Fuzzy Zoellers' career!

    Fuzzy was drunk at The Masters in 1997 and should not have been interviewed by the Press when drunk. He said Tiger better not have fried chicken and watermelon an The Masters Champion Dinner the next year

      Disgusting...!! These days he would be rightfully banished for life. Fuzzy couldn't clean Tiger's spikes as far as talent comparisons go
