The Michael Mazzeo Collection
"Mike Mazzeo was my regular caddie for 18 and a half years. Mike was family. I’m supposed to tell Mike he can’t come to Augusta?” Fuzzy Zoeller didn't often mince words, and this time was no exception when speaking to the Augusta Chronicle on his 1983 Masters caddy choice. It was a telling response, and the feeling was mutual. "I laughed everyday," Mazzeo answered without hesitation when asked what it was like to loop for Fuzzy, whom he still refers to as either "The Boss" or even "The Pied Piper of Golf" three decades later. The relationship started in Zoeller's second year on tour in 1976 and lasted until 1995, with a year and a half break between 1980 and '82. Philadelphia-born, 'The Strategist' was "renown for his precision and expertise" as remembered by the CaddyBytes website in its review of the the games 'legendary caddies' for their "Haul" of Fame. Footage of the 1984 US Open at Winged Foot shows the young, visor clad Mazzeo in stride with Zoeller. The team out-dueled Greg Norman for that memorable feat and 7 others on the PGA Tour. Mazzeo labeled and kept everything his partner gave him, as Zoeller advised him to do saying it "might be worth something someday." Significant balls, flags, some gloves, bags with duck headcovers and even Zoeller's 1984 US Open winning, dated 'FUZ' clubs - Mazzeo's time capsule had it all. Finishing up his career, Mazzeo carried the bags of Curtis Strange, Mike Donald, Mike Reid, Ben Crane and more. Mazzeo then proved he wasn't done, notching a pair of 'W's' - one with both Reid and Crane. With an unmatched work ethic and sense of humility, Mazzeo was well respected by players and his peers while on Tour. In this auction we proudly offer The Mike Mazzeo Collection.
