George Anderson Low, Jr. (July 5, 1912 – April 10, 1995) was an American professional golfer and noted putting instructor and designer of golf putters. Low was also one of golf's greatest—and unabashed—hustlers. He once reportedly said, "Show me a millionaire with a bad backswing and I can have a very pleasant afternoon".

He was also reputedly one of the best putters the game has ever known.[2] Counselor of putting to Arnold Palmer and his contemporaries, Low was renowned both as a player and a teacher of this most fragile art—the sure putting stroke.

Low died in Illinois on April 10, 1995, at the age of 82.
