Longtime PGA Tour caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan took a spill on Sunday morning at RBC Canadian Open — and and it forced him to leave the course.
Cowan, 76, spent 25 years on Jim Furyk’s bag before splitting up last month. He recently started working with C.T. Pan, for whom Cowan was looping at Hamilton Golf and Country Club on Sunday when he fell on the third hole coming down a hill.
Fluff seemed to be OK after getting up, but he done for the day. With Pan needing another caddie, he recruited a fan who was up to the task … or so Pan thought.

The first stand-in caddie didn’t last as long as Pan had hoped. After about 30 minutes, a new caddie sub took over the duties.

CT Pan update: First caddy was on for one hole, didn’t work out. Now another fan is on the bag. CT’s wife has brought a stand bag to 10 tee to see if he wants her to caddy (she has in the past). Fluff is fine.

— Adam Stanley (@adam_stanley) June 2, 2024Mike Campbell, someone from caddy services at the club, was brought to help out pretty much immediately.
He worked the rest of the front nine before Al Riddell took over. https://t.co/9beGN7eHfm
Al Ridell, caddie for Paul Barjon, is going to caddie for CT Pan for the back nine. Ridell lives in Hamilton and knew Pan from PGA TOUR Canada. https://t.co/wLojfPO8HH

Canadian journalist Adam Stanley reported Pan’s wife was ready to take over the bag for the back nine, but Al Ridell, the regular caddie for Paul Barjon, stepped in instead. Ridell lives in Hamilton and knows Pan from their days on the former PGA Tour Canada.
Will Ridell is Pan’s final caddie for the day? Stay tuned! It would be fun to have his wife on the bag for a hole or two just so he can say he had five caddies in one round.
This has got to be some sort of PGA Tour record. Those staff bags are no joke!

Al Riddell is local, great guy. Nine holes to go. Was watching on TV and came right over. pic.twitter.com/4Rig0aDT4J
Hopefully, Fluff will be back in action soon. In the meantime, check out this video of Fluff explaining what keeps him going.
