Williams, who is now just one win away from reaching his fourth Masters final, made a flying start against Hawkins, winning the first three frames of the match.
Hawkins pulled one frame back, but Williams responded with a break of 132 to restore his three-frame advantage.
Hawkins won the sixth frame to reduce the deficit to 5-2, but Williams wrapped up the match with a break of 72 in the eighth frame.
Trump, the world number one, was also in fine form as he beat Wilson 6-3.
Trump won the first two frames of the match, but Wilson hit back to level the scores at 2-2.
Trump then won the next three frames to take a 5-2 lead, and he sealed the victory with a break of 100 in the eighth frame.
