William Henry Tucker, Sr. (15 August 1872 – 6 October 1954) was an American professional golfer and golf course architect of English birth. Tucker placed seventh in the 1896 U.S. Open, held 18 July at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York.[1][2]

Although a fine golfer, the bulk of his career would not be spent as a tournament player but rather as a golf course architect.
