Fred first played golf on Seattle's public golf courses, and attended the University of Houston, where he roomed with Blaine McCallister and CBS television broadcaster Jim Nantz. His first PGA Tour victory came at the 1983 Kemper Open. He has amassed 15 total PGA victories, including the Players Championship twice and The Masters Tournament in 1992, his only Major victory. He has been named the PGA Tour Player of the Year twice, in 1991 and 1992 and has been named to the Ryder Cup team five times (1989, 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1997). He spent 16 weeks at number 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Couples is sometimes called "Mr. Skins" because of his dominance in the Skins Game. He has won the event five times, accumulating US$3,515,000 and 77 skins in 11 appearances. He won five of the Skins Games overall (1995, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2004).

Fred, however, became the first American player to reach No.1 in the World Rankings. His only major, at Augusta National, came with a stroke of good fortune at the 12th hole. Although his ball rolled back towards the water, it incredibly remained on the bank.

In 2005 Fred sank a crucial putt in the President's Cup, securing an unlikely 1-shot victory over the International team's best player, Vijay Singh. This match proved to be pivotal in the contest. Couples has now played Vijah three times in President's Cup matchplay and has yet to lose.
