Marco Dawson (born November 17, 1963) is an American professional golfer.

Dawson was born in Freising, Germany. He attended Florida Southern College, graduating in 1985, when turned professional. Dawson has enjoyed a long career playing both the PGA and Nationwide Tours. He played on the PGA Tour in 1991-1997, 2000-2001 and 2003-2008, and played on the Nationwide Tour in 1990, 1999, 2002 and 2009 to date. Dawson has one win on the Nationwide Tour, at the 2002 LaSalle Bank Open, but his best finish on the PGA Tour is 2nd at the 1995 Greater Milwaukee Open, when he finished three strokes behind Scott Hoch.

Controversy

In 2003, Dawson became involved in two separate controversial incidents involving rules breaches. At the Chrysler Classic of Tucson in March, he was playing with Brandel Chamblee when Chamblee took an incorrect drop. Dawson was criticized for only notifying rules officials shortly after he had signed Chamblee's card, meaning disqualification rather than a two-stroke penalty.^[1] In a similar incident in October, Dawson was playing with Esteban Toledo when he called Toledo on an incorrect drop, resulting in Toledo's disqualification. The latter incident resulted in a feud in which Toledo sacked the agent both players shared, and Dawson was eventually fined $10,000 for not informing officials of an infringement promptly.^[2]
