Tom Williamson (9 February 1880 – 4 April 1950) was an English professional golfer who played in the early 20th century.
He had a good reputation as a teacher and taught Enid Wilson who won the English Ladies Championship three times.
He designed amongst others Stanton-on-the-Wolds Golf Club, Zurich Golf and Country Club, Coombe Park, Wollaton, Hillsborough, Radcliffe-on -Trent, Worksop and he made substantial alterations to Hollinwell, Kedleston Hall, Sherwood Forest and Burton-on-Trent, and designed other courses in the Midlands as well.
Harry Vardon won a record sixth Open Championship title, three strokes ahead of runner-up J.H.
Vardon led after the first day by one shot from a relatively unknown James Ockenden from West Drayton Golf Club.
The Championship was largely decided at the 4th hole where Taylor deposited his ball into a water hazard and took 7 whilst Vardon carded a 4.
Williamson played steady golf in the event, finishing tied for fourth place with Abe Mitchell, and won £8 15s.
Former local Jock Hutchison won his only Open Championship, in a 36-hole playoff over amateur Roger Wethered.
[6][10] He is best remembered as a frequent competitor in the Open Championship and for winning the 1913 Sphere and Tatler Foursomes Tournament when he was paired with Harry Vardon.
