2 time Major Champion

quote:

Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and one of golf's most gregarious characters whose career was tainted by a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, has died, according to a longtime colleague. He was 74.


quote:

Woods was on his way to a watershed moment in golf with the most dominant victory in Augusta National history. Zoeller was praising the performance in a CNN interview when he ended it by saying: "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 not serve fried chicken next year. Got it?" He smiled and snapped his fingers, and as he was walking away he turned and said, "Or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve."

No more fried chicken or collard greens at the masters dinner.

You have to wonder how many drinks he had by then. He was also like a comedian and that’s how I view it. Like a Dean Martin roast comment.

What a terrible article.

Dude is dead and they just roast him for something he said almost 30 years ago

They never waste an opportunity to hammer a white male.

Understand what you're saying but it's 100% what he's most known for.

Agreed. You can’t not mention the controversy, but to make it the focus of the story is journalistic malpractice, I would have insisted that be rewritten if I’d been the editor. Although these days it wouldn’t surprise me if that was AI generated.

Woods served hot dogs and Hamburgers if my memory hasn't failed.

They did and still do the same thing to Clifford Roberts.

The man was a goddam genius, one of the most important and impactful men of all time re: the game of golf. Yet he's been reduced to one quote.

The media would have gone way easier on Fuzzy if he had killed 2 people in a drunk driving accident.
