Legendary Golf Personality’s Estate Hits the Market: Own a Piece of Golf History — Fuzzy Zoeller’s Talis Park Home Is Now for Sale
Masters Champion. U.S. Open Winner. Now his Naples golf-front estate can be yours.
NAPLES, FL — A rare opportunity to own a residence tied to professional golf history has arrived in one of Southwest Florida’s most prestigious communities. The former Naples estate of legendary golf personality Fuzzy Zoeller is now offered for sale within the private, gated golf enclave of Talis Park.
A defining figure in American golf, Zoeller captured 10 PGA Tour victories, including two major championships. He made history by winning the 1979 Masters Tournament in his first appearance, becoming only the third golfer ever to accomplish that feat, and later claimed the 1984 U.S. Open title, securing his place among the game’s elite. He also won the Champions Tour PGA Championship. Known for both competitive excellence and a charismatic personality that endeared him to fans worldwide, Zoeller left a lasting imprint on the sport. This Santa Barbara Grande–inspired estate reflects the same blend of prestige, warmth, and effortless entertaining that defined his legacy.
Elegantly positioned along one of Talis Park’s most coveted golf frontages, the residence at 16725 Prato Way, Naples, FL represents a rare intersection of architectural excellence, luxury design, and golf heritage.
The property is exclusively represented by Stan Whitcomb of The Whitcomb Group at Premiere Plus Realty.
