Their are 2 Jim Thorpes,hence the confusion, 1 is currentlt playing the senior tour he’s black and excellent golfer, he played the PGA tour during the time of Lee Elder and before Calvin Peete. The other Jim Thorpe was a football player and Heisman trophy winner and yes he was a Native American – although I prefer the term American Indian, since anyone born in the United States is a Native American.
