Toshimitsu Izawa (sometimes known outside of Japan
as Toshi Izawa) is a Japanese golfer. He was born
on 2 Mar 1968 in Kanagawa and attended Nihon
Taiiku University and turned professional in 1989.

Izawa's career on the Japan Golf Tour developed
quite slowly. His first win came in 1995, and he
did not make the top ten on the money list until
1999, when he was thirty one years old. He went on
to top the money list in 2001 and 2003. In the
first of those years he set a record of
217,934,583 Yen in earnings which survived though
the 2004 season, and his dominant form in Japan
lifted him into the top twenty in the Official
World Golf Rankings. As of June 2005 he had 14
victories on the Japan Golf Tour.

Izawa has only played a limited number of
tournaments outside Japan, but in 2001 he finished
tied fourth at the Masters Tournament, which is
one of golf's four major championships, and tied
second at the PGA Tour's Nissan Open. In 2002 he
won the WGC-World Cup for Japan in partnership
with Shigeki Maruyama. 

As of June 2005 Izawa is suffering from a period
of poor form, and he has not won a tournament
since 2003.
