Jim Furyk has a new caddie on his bag this week that looks a lot like the old one, down to the white, fluffy mustache.
That’s because it is none other than Mike “Fluff” Cowan.
Furyk, in contrast, has made $46,416 in six starts with just one top-20 finish to his credit. What’s the old saying about absence makes the heart grow fonder? Fluff, who has worked for Peter Jacobsen and Tiger Woods during a career spanning nearly 50 years, said it was a simple decision for him.
“I wanted to finish my career working for Jim Furyk,” Fluff told PGA Tour.com.
Fittingly, they are reuniting at the PGA Tour Champions Dick’s Sporting Goods Open at Enjoie Golf Club in Endicott, N.Y., the former home of the B.C. Open, a PGA Tour stop from 1971-2006.
After a change of heart, Fluff has decided to return to Jim Furyk’s bag full-time.
