The golf community mourned Zoeller’s death, and the PGA Tour paid tribute to him.

“The PGA Tour is saddened by the passing of Fuzzy Zoeller,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a public statement. “Fuzzy was a true original whose talent and charisma left an indelible mark on the game of golf.
