Ken Brown is a Scottish former European Tour golfer who now works as a golf broadcaster and writer, primarily for the BBC.
He also works as part of the commentary team for the international coverage of the European Tour on selected events which are not covered by the BBC.
He won four times on the European Tour and in his best season in 1978 he finished fourth on the European Tour Order of Merit at the age of 21. He was an outstanding but largely unfulfilled talent; the last of his four top ten finishes on the Order of Merit came when he was just 26.
He appeared in the Ryder Cup in 1977, 1979, 1983, 1985 and 1987, and had a 4-9-0 win-loss-tie record, including two wins and two losses in singles matches.
His playing career was terminated by injury when he was in his mid thirties.
