I believe the answer is:

seve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one familiar golfer' is the definition.
'Seve' can be an answer for 'golfer' (Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros 1957-2011). I am unsure of the 'one familiar' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for seve that I've seen is " - - Ballesteros (golf)".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
