Rocky Thompson (golfer)

Rocky Thompson (born October 14,1939) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour.

Thompson was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. He turned pro in 1964. He played on the PGA Tour for many years but never recorded a victory. His best finish was a solo 2nd place at the 1969 Western Open and a T-2 at the 1970 Kiwanis Peninsula Open Invitational.

Thompson's fortunes changed, however, once he reached the age of 50 and began competing on the Senior PGA Tour in 1990. His first win came at the 1991 MONY Syracuse Senior Classic; later that same year he won at the Digital Seniors Classic. In 1994, he won the GTE Suncoast Classic. He holds or shares several Champions Tour records.

Thompson was mayor of Toco, Texas in the 1990s. He now lives in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
