David Wayne Edwards (born April 18, 1956) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour from 1979–2005. He is the younger brother of former PGA Tour professional, Danny Edwards.
Edwards was born in Neosho, Missouri. He attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma and was a distinguished member of the golf team. Edwards was the individual medalist his senior year at the 1978 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships, and led Oklahoma State to the NCAA Championship. He turned pro later that same year and joined the PGA Tour in 1979.
Edwards had more than 65 top-10 finishes in PGA Tour events and won four times (the first one was a Championship he shared with his brother). His best finish in a major was a T-3 at The Masters in 1984. During his late forties, Edwards split his playing time between the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour as do so many golfers at that stage who are preparing for the Champions Tour.
He became eligible for the Champions Tour in April 2006, and won his first event, the 3M Championship, in August of that year.
Edwards lives in Edmond, Oklahoma. He is a serious pilot who flies his own plane to tournaments.[1]
