Fuzzy Zoeller was one of the most prominent names on the PGA Tour in the 1980s. In an illustrious career, Fuzzy won 10 PGA Tours and two major championships. Tragically, Fuzzy Zoeller is going through a tough period, following the passing of his wife, Diane Zoeller. However, the exact cause of her death is still unknown.
Notably, the 70-year-old former professional golfer hasn’t spoken about the incident yet. He currently lives in New Albany, Indiana, where he was born and raised as well. Fuzzy was an exceptional golfer, and his ten PGA Tour wins came in the era when Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player were dominating the world of golf.
