Tiger Woods’ previous caddie Mike ‘Fluff’ Cowan has separated ways with PGA Visit legend Jim Furyk after 25 a long time together.
That’s one of the longest player-caddie connections ever seen on the PGA Visit, equalling the same period of time Phil Mickelson went through with Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay.
Cowan, 76, is best known for being on the sack of Woods when he landed his lady major title with a record-breaking triumph at the 1997 Aces.
Woods not as it were got to be the most youthful player, matured 21, to win The Experts that week, but he too recorded the biggest edge of triumph at Augusta National of 12 strokes.
After being supplanted on Woods’ pack by Steve Williams in early 1999, Cowan joined the pack of Furyk at The Aces that season. Cowan’s relationship with Furyk kept going 25 a long time some time recently drawing to an official near at final week’s Zurich Classic of Unused Orleans.

Furyk, presently 53, depended on Cowan for 14 of his 17 titles on the PGA Visit from 1999 through to 2015, with their highlight win being the 2003 US Open.
They moreover synced up for three wins on the PGA Visit Champions counting the 2021 US Senior Open, as well as the 2006 Nedbank Golf Challenge over on the Daylight Visit.
Furyk positions third within the all-time PGA Visit career earnings list with $71m within the bank.
But ‘Fluff’ has presently chosen to connect the pack of PGA Visit player CT Skillet, who won his sole title at the 2019 RBC Legacy. It’s difficult to portion ways after 25 years,” Cowan told Golfweek.
Now and then the correct thing to do is gazing you right within the confront and you’ve have to be have the guts to do it.”
Whereas the choice was a intense one, it had Furyk’s favoring, particularly with the intensely expanded prize satchels on the PGA Visit in 2024.
