Former Buffalo Native Jim Thorpe in Big Trouble

Posted on September 23, 2009 by Patrick Moran

BSD GOLF2Our debut golf post here at Buffalo Sports Daily isn’t a happy one.

Regrettably, it looks like PGA Senior Tour and former Buffalo native Jim Thorpe is in big trouble with the law.

According to this AP report, Thorpe has pleaded guilty to failing to pay more than $2 million in income taxes. The report goes on to state he was charged in February with seven counts of failing to pay federal taxes on income earned in 2002-04.

Thorpe lived in Buffalo for 20 years before moving away in 1996. He won three times on the PGA tour and 13 times on the Senior tour, including The Tradition major in 2002.

Thorpe never won a major on the PGA Tour but did have a three top ten finishes; placing T-4th at the 1984 U.S. Open and T-9th three years later. He also finished T-7th in the 1986 PGA Championship.
