Tiger Woods’ legendary caddie used to check the wind by smoking a cigarette

A skilled caddie plays a truly vital role in both the immediate strategy of a golf tournament and the long-term success of a player’s career. They are much more than just someone who carries the bag; they act as a crucial advisor, offering insights on course management, club selection, and even the psychological aspects of the game.

A strong caddie understands the nuances of each hole, the impact of weather conditions, and the player’s strengths and weaknesses, contributing significantly to informed decision-making under pressure. This was demmonstrated in the late 90’s by Mike Cowan, caddie of Tiger Woods.

Fluff Cowan was indeed the caddie for the legendary Tiger Woods during that remarkable 1997 Masters tournament. It was a truly historic event as the young Woods, in his first professional major championship, absolutely dominated the field at Augusta National. He didn’t just win; he shattered records, finishing at 18 under par and winning by an astounding 12 strokes over the runner-up, Tom Kite. This victory was not only Tiger’s first major title but also a monumental moment that announced his arrival as a global superstar in the world of golf.

After his departure from Tiger Woods, caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan forged a remarkably long and successful partnership with Jim Furyk, spanning an impressive 25 years. During this time, Cowan was on Furyk’s bag when the American golfer achieved his sole major championship victory to date at the 2003 U.S. Open. While Furyk’s major tally might seem relatively modest for such a consistent player, his career has been marked by an extraordinary level of consistency, achieving an astounding 177 top-10 finishes in tournaments.

At 76 years old, a remarkable new chapter has begun in the career of veteran caddie Fluff Cowan. He has joined forces with 33-year-old Taiwanese golfer CT Pan for the current PGA Tour season. Pan, who has one professional PGA Tour victory to his name at The RBC Heritage in 2019 (a tournament steeped in history, first played in 1969 and traditionally held in South Carolina the week following The Masters), will now benefit from Cowan’s vast experience and course knowledge.

That’s a widely reported account of the reason behind the split between Tiger Woods and his caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan. Allegedly, the parting of ways in early 1999 stemmed from an interview Cowan gave to Golf Magazine where he disclosed his earnings with Woods.

He reportedly stated that he received a base salary of one thousand dollars per week, in addition to a significant 10% cut of Tiger’s tournament winnings. This revelation of their financial arrangement reportedly did not sit well with Woods, leading to their separation. Despite the circumstances of their split, both Tiger Woods and Mike “Fluff” Cowan undoubtedly played significant roles and left an indelible mark on the history of golf through their successful partnership.
