Who is John Hawksworth?

John F. Hawksworth is a retired professional golfer who played on the European Tour between 1986 and 2000.

Hawksworth had a successful amateur career during which he won the Lytham Trophy in 1984. He was a member of the Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team in 1985 alongside Colin Montgomerie and David Gilford, after which he turned professional. He did not go on to enjoy the same success as a professional as his former teammates, revisiting the European Tour's qualifying school on many occasions where he only twice managed to regain full playing rights.

Since retiring from tournament golf in 2000, Hawksworth has been a regular commentator on UK television, appearing for both the BBC and Sky Sports, and on the radio with Talk Sport Radio.
