John Klatt is a well known golf professional from Brisbane, Australia.

He completed his PGA apprenticeship under Arthur Gazzard, at Victoria Park Golf Club thereby becoming a full member of the Australia PGA. In 1963 was appointed head professional at Virginia Golf Club, an 18 hole facility in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. At just 20 years of age, he was the youngest head professional in Australia at the time. He stayed at Virginia for 42 years, retiring in 2003.

While at Virginia, Klatt devoted much of his time to the development of junior golf, conducting regular clinics at the club with students including a young Greg Norman, US PGA Championship winner Wayne Grady and former US PGA Tour player Andrew Buckle.

A competitive player himself, John juggled club professional duties while competing regularly in local PGA Tour events. Notable victories included the 1967 City Of Brisbane Open, and the Queensland PGA Championship in 1972 & 1974 as well as numerous Pro Am wins.

Upon turning 50, he competed on the Australian, Japanese and European Seniors Tour. His best finishes on the European Seniors Tour were T30 in the 1992 Seniors British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, T5 in the PGA Seniors Championship at Royal Dublin and in Australia, a T2 finish in the 1994 Australia Seniors Open at Yarra Yarra. .

Klatt should also be remembered for his role in developing the Sunshine Tour. He was a pioneer of the so-called 'Troppo Tour' when it was a fledgling series of Pro-Ams in Northern Queensland in the 1960s. The tour has played a substantial role in developing the careeers of many players, including major winner Ian Baker-Finch and Wayne Grady. He also served as Chairman of the Queensland PGA and sat on the board of the Australian PGA, alongside Norman von Nida and Peter Thompson.
