Early Life

Frederick Steven Couples was born on October 3rd of 1959 in Seattle.

Throughout his entire career, Fred has always stressed that he is completely self-taught and never hired a swing coach.

During his high school years, Fred's golf skills became apparent.

As a 19-year-old, Fred managed to beat PGA Tour veteran Don Bies to win the Washington Open in 1978.
