Larry Mowry (born October 20, 1936) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour.
Career In 1936, Mowry was born in San Diego, California.
In 1959, he turned professional and spent most of his regular career as a club professional. Mowry played on the PGA Tour full-time for several years in the 1960s. He won the 1968 Rebel Yell Open and finished T-2 at the 1969 Azalea Open Invitational. Mowry's best finish in a major was a T-11 at the 1969 PGA Championship.

That victory also made him the first former club professional to post an official Senior PGA Tour win. The biggest win of Mowry's career came at the 1989 Senior PGA Championship, which was held at the PGA National Golf Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Personal life Mowry is married and has two adult children and five grandchildren.
