Jim Colbert, an esteemed golfer celebrated for his eight PGA Tour victories and 20 wins on the PGA Tour Champions, passed away at the age of 85. Known for his trademark bucket hat, Colbert's journey in golf began after an injury cut short his football career at Kansas State University. He was a runner-up in the 1964 NCAA Championship and joined the PGA Tour in 1966, claiming his first title at the 1969 Monsanto Invitational Open. His impressive career included two top-five finishes in major tournaments in 1974. After battling prostate cancer in 1996, Colbert returned to the sport, continuing to influence golf through his business ventures, owning 23 golf courses and generating $50 million in revenue. His legacy is honored through his induction into several sports halls of fame, including the Kansas State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991 and the Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame in 2019.
