. I mean, two Masters wins? Big deal! Tiger Woods has like 15 majors and still manages to be relevant 
. And don't even get me started on his "humorous" comments about Tiger back in '97... please, just a bunch of old-school grumpy golfers being salty 
. Zoeller's legacy is just a bunch of nostalgia for people who grew up watching him play and think he was cooler than he actually was 
. The real icons are the ones still dominating the game today, not some 74-year-old guy who peaked decades ago 
.
74 feels old already zoeller's career was full of twists and turns but you gotta love how he went out with style throwing shade at tiger woods all those years ago lol now it's his turn to be showered with respect from the golfing community its crazy how he went from being roasted by fans to being hailed as a legend what a legacy 
his humor was infectious and his charisma was undeniable i remember watching him play and thinking "who is this guy?" but now he's one of the all-time greats 
zoeller will be deeply missed but his memory will live on in the golfing world 
what's with all these remembrances about Fuzzy Zoeller 
people need to move on from 1997 already 
he made some questionable comments but like they say "hate the player, not the game" - still an icon and legend in golfing circles 
he left behind so many amazing memories and wins on tour that'll never be forgotten
. It's awesome that the golfing community is coming together to celebrate his life and career - it just goes to show how much of an impact one person can have on others 
. I also love how PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan called him "a true original" - I think that sums up Fuzzy Zoeller perfectly 
. He may have made some jokes about Tiger Woods back in the day, but it's clear he was all about having fun and enjoying the game 
. Anyway, I'm going to miss seeing his name pop up in the news, but I know his memory will keep on inspiring golfers for years to come 
I'm not surprised people have mixed feelings about Fuzzy Zoeller... yeah, he was a legend on the course but also made some comments that were pretty harsh towards Tiger Woods back in 97 
I mean, it's understandable why people got upset - we'd all want our colleagues/peers to be treated with respect. But at the same time, you've gotta give him credit for owning up to his mistake and apologizing for it 
He had a lot of fans who loved him for being real and not afraid to speak his mind 
Even if some of those comments were taken out of context, that doesn't mean they weren't hurtful. All in all, I think he left behind an amazing legacy - both on and off the course 
what do you think his legacy will be like after all these years?
. Jay Monahan's words really hit home - Zoeller was a true original 
. His legacy lives on, and I'm sure fans will keep sharing stories about him for years to come 
. So here's to Fuzzy Zoeller: you may be gone, but your spirit will live on in our hearts 
. I mean, sure, two Masters wins are awesome, but that's not even close to the number of titles Tiger Woods has under his belt 
.
i remember watching him play back in school days lol he must've been so much fun to watch live n all that charisma but sorry to hear about the controversy surrounding tiger woods tho 
i had no idea he was only 74 tho that's crazy fast
