Fast forward to the PGA Championship and listen to Fuzzy's take on Larry Nelson's impressive win in 1981, with the infamous Amana  hat, and Lee Trevino's blunder that created a stir. We then maneuver into the high-stakes world of the Ryder Cup, where Fuzzy shares his memories from the winning 1979 team and his epic match against Seve Ballesteros in 1983 at PGA National. Learn from his personal insights into why he never perceived himself as an excellent match play golfer.

To top it all off, Fuzzy Zoeller talks his transition to the Champions Tour and a special honor, being awarded the prestigious Bob Jones Award by the USGA.
