Jimmy Lee Thorpe (born February 1, 1949) is an American professional golfer, currently playing on the Champions Tour.
Thorpe was born in Roxboro, North Carolina, the ninth of the twelve children of a fairway superintendent. He attended Morgan State University before turning pro in 1972. He won three times on the PGA Tour in the mid-1980s. He has surpassed this at senior level by winning over ten times, including one senior major championship (the 2002 Tradition) and making the top ten of the Champions Tour's career money list in 2004.〔(2009 Champions Tour Champions Career Money Leaders )〕
Thorpe's late success has been clouded by charges filed in federal court in Orlando, Florida, charging him with failure to pay $1.6 million in taxes between the years 2002 and 2004. After his lawyer stated that Thorpe intended to plead innocent to the charges,〔(Golfer Jim Thorpe charged with tax evasion )〕 Thorpe pled guilty in September 2009.〔(Thorpe faces two years in prison )〕 On January 22, 2010, Thorpe was sentenced to one year in prison for the crime.〔(Jim Thorpe sentenced to one-year prison term )〕
Thorpe was released from prison on January 17, 2011. He was under suspension by the PGA Tour until March 31〔(Jim Thorpe, Champions Tour golfer, released from jail )〕 and then resumed his career on the Champions Tour.
