From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the political figure in Northern Ireland, see Denis Watson (politician).

Denis Leslie Watson (born 18 October 1955) is a professional golfer from South Africa who in the middle of an otherwise unremarkable career was the tied winningmost player on the PGA Tour in 1984. He was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe).

Watson turned professional in 1976 and played on the European Tour from 1978 to 1980. In 1984 he won the Buick Open, NEC World Series of Golf, and Panasonic Las Vegas Invitational to equal his much better known American namesake Tom's total of three wins. However those were to be his only PGA Tour wins.
