Frederick Steven Couples, born on October 3, 1959, in Seattle, Washington, began his journey in golf at a young age, developing his distinctive, fluid swing at the city’s Jefferson Park golf course. His paternal grandparents, who immigrated from Italy, changed their surname from Coppola to Couples. Couples attended O’Dea High School in Seattle and later received a golf scholarship to the University of Houston in 1977, where he roomed with future PGA Tour player Blaine McCallister and CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz. In 1978, at 19 years old, he secured an early career highlight by winning the Washington Open as an amateur, defeating PGA Tour veteran Don Bies in a playoff.
Couples turned professional in 1980 and achieved his first PGA Tour victory at the Kemper Open in 1983. His professional career on the PGA Tour included 15 titles, most notably the Masters Tournament in 1992 and two Players Championships in 1984 and 1996. He earned the nickname “Boom Boom” for his powerful and accurate driving. Couples was recognized as the PGA Tour Player of the Year twice, in 1991 and 1992, also receiving the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average in those years. A significant milestone occurred in 1992 when he became the first American player to reach the number one position in the Official World Golf Rankings, a spot he held for 16 weeks.
His career saw a turning point in March 1994 when back injuries began to affect his play. Despite these challenges, Couples remained competitive, notably winning the Shell Houston Open in 2003 after a five-year winless streak. In 2006, at 46, he contended for a second Masters title, finishing third. Transitioning to the PGA Tour Champions in 2010, Couples continued his success, winning his first senior major at the Senior Players Championship in 2011 and the Senior Open Championship in 2012. In 2013, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. In 2023, he made history as the oldest player to make the cut at a Masters Tournament at 63 years old.
