Where Does Fuzzy Zoeller Live in Florida? His Naples Home at Talis Park

Where does Fuzzy Zoeller live? The two-time major champion died on November 27, 2025 at age 74, so the honest answer is in the past tense. For most of his life he lived in southern Indiana, near New Albany where he grew up. He spent part of each winter in Naples, Florida. His last Naples home was a golf estate in Talis Park, a gated community in North Naples. It went on the market after his death. Here is what public reporting says about the house, the Naples habit, and the Indiana home he never left.

Key takeaways

• Talis Park in North Naples was Zoeller's Florida home, a gated golf community with a Greg Norman and Pete Dye course.
• The estate is now listed for sale with about 6,000 square feet under air, four bedrooms and five baths. The asking price was not in the listing summary we saw.
• He wintered in Naples from the 1970s, two to three months a year, per Extol Magazine.
• Floyds Knobs, Indiana was home, minutes from the golf courses he owned and designed near Louisville.

Where does Fuzzy Zoeller live in Florida?

Zoeller's Florida home was in Naples, the Gulf Coast city in Collier County. Naples is on the opposite side of the state from the counties Pure Equity serves, so we do not sell there. We cover it because readers search for it. Zoeller's Naples story also runs longer than most. He first came as a young golfer and kept coming back for 50 years.

His last Naples address was in Talis Park, a gated golf community off Livingston Road in North Naples. The Whitcomb Group, the brokerage handling the sale, described the property as the former Naples estate of the legendary golf personality. Talis Park is one of the newer clubs in the city, built out mostly in the 2010s. Greg Norman and Pete Dye co-designed the course.

Pure Equity does not publish private addresses. Since the home is on the market, its address is public in listing feeds, but we still name only the community.

Inside the reported Talis Park home

The listing describes a four-bedroom, five-bath home with close to 6,000 square feet under air. Total area is about 9,210 square feet, including lanais and garages. Herscoe Hajjar Architects designed it, Sunwest Homes built it and Design West handled the interiors, all well-known Naples names. Inside are a multi-island kitchen, a wine room, vaulted ceilings, custom woodwork and hand-scraped hardwood floors.

The layout suits a golfer who hosted. The main suite looks out over the course, and two guest bedrooms have their own baths. A second main suite upstairs has a sitting room and a sun deck. Out back is a pool and spa with a covered outdoor living area, which is the standard for estate homes in Naples golf communities.

What the listing summary did not give us is the asking price, the lot size or the year built. No news outlet has reported what Zoeller paid for the home or when he bought it. So we cannot put a number on it, and we will not guess. Comparable estate homes in Talis Park have listed in the mid single-digit millions in recent years.

A Naples habit that started in the 1970s

Zoeller's tie to Naples was not a late-life move. Extol Magazine, a southern Indiana publication, wrote that he had enjoyed living part-time in Naples since the 1970s. He and his wife Diane spent two to three months a year there. Naples celebrity lists have included him for decades, usually alongside other golfers and Midwestern retirees.

Zoeller was part of a wider pattern. Naples has been a landing spot for tour players since the 1960s, when winter events on the Florida swing made the Gulf Coast a practical base. Later the city became a retirement hub for golfers from the Midwest and Northeast, with dozens of private clubs to choose from. A player who came in the 1970s and stayed for 50 years saw the town grow around that industry.

That timeline matters for understanding the Talis Park home. It was not his first Naples property, and reporting does not say how many he owned over the years. The Talis Park estate was simply the last one. He bought it at a stage when he had the money and time for a full golf-club life, rather than a condo for a few weeks in February.

Why Fuzzy Zoeller chose Naples

The reasons were the usual ones for a touring pro from the Midwest, and he was open about them. Naples had winter golf when Indiana was frozen. It was a straight drive down Interstate 75 from Louisville, and it drew the kind of golf crowd he liked to be around. He had also gone to junior college in Florida before the University of Houston, so the state was familiar early.

Naples also fit his public style. Zoeller was known as one of the game's talkers, quick with a joke and comfortable in a clubhouse. A golf community with a busy social calendar, like Talis Park, gave him that every day. It was a place to play and to hold court, which is how friends described him in the tributes that followed his death.

His Indiana home and golf courses

Indiana was always home. Zoeller was born in New Albany in 1951 and lived in nearby Floyds Knobs, just across the Ohio River from Louisville. Property sites have described a modest home there worth about $1.5 million, though that figure does not come from a news outlet. He never moved his primary residence to Florida or California, which was unusual for a player of his standing.

His business was there too. He owned and operated Covered Bridge Golf Club in Sellersburg, which he designed, and Champions Pointe in Henryville. He also built a vodka brand under his name. Those ventures kept him in southern Indiana most of the year. The Naples home was the winter half of a life that stayed rooted where it started.
