Warren Bennett

Warren Bennett (born 20 August 1971) is an English professional golfer.

In 1994, Bennett won the Australian Amateur and was the leading amateur at The Open Championship. He turned professional later that year.

Bennett failed to win a European Tour card at Qualifying School in either 1994 or 1995, and missed much of 1996 with a twisted vertebrae. In 1998, he won five tournaments on the second tier Challenge Tour, to increase his career tally at that level to seven wins. From 1999 to 2004 he played on the European Tour, winning his only European Tour title at the 1999 Scottish PGA Championship, but he continued to be troubled by injuries. In 2005, he played only a few events, most of them on the Challenge Tour.

Bennett's best year-end ranking on the European Order of Merit was 29th in 2001.

Bennett is the son of former footballer Peter Bennett.
