Mike Cowan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Thomas "Fluff" Cowan (born 1948, Winslow, Maine) is a golf caddy on the PGA Tour. He has caddied for Ed Sabo (1976-78), Peter Jacobsen (1978-96), Tiger Woods (1996-99), and Jim Furyk (1999-present). In 2003, he caddied for Michelle Wie for one tournament while Furyk was injured.
Although with Peter Jacobsen for 18 years, Fluff Cowan gained most of his notoriety as Tiger Woods' first caddy. Their first tournament together was at Woods' professional debut at the Greater Milwaukee Open in September 1996. Cowan was on the bag for Woods' first major victory at the 1997 Masters, their only major victory together. Following the Nissan Open in February 1999, Cowan was released by Woods for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Steve Williams of New Zealand.[1] Cowan was soon picked up a few weeks later by Jim Furyk, who had just fired his caddy; their first tournament together was the 1999 Masters. Fluff was on the bag during Furyk's win at the 2003 U.S. Open.
Fluff Cowan is a member of Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. He and his wife Jennifer Young Cowan live in Maryland.
