Early life

Izawa was born in Kanagawa, attended Nihon Taiiku University, and turned professional in 1989.

Professional career

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 in earnings which survived through the 2004 season, and his dominant form in Japan lifted him into the top twenty in the Official World Golf Ranking.

He has 16 victories on the Japan Golf Tour and is eighth on the career money list (through 2013).

Izawa has only played a limited number of tournaments outside Japan. However, he has had some success in these rare appearances. In early 2001, he finished joint runner-up at the PGA Tour's Nissan Open. Months later, he finished tied fourth at the 2001 Masters Tournament. In 2002, he won the WGC-World Cup for Japan in partnership with Shigeki Maruyama.
