Dicky Thompson (born June 13, 1957) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.
Career
In 1980, Thompson turned professional. Thompson played on the NGA Hooters Tour in the late 1980s. He won the Crown Colony Invitational in 1988 by six strokes over Marco Dawson and Brian Kamm. He qualified for the 1988 Open Championship during this era.
In 1990, Thompson joined the Ben Hogan Tour. He won the Ben Hogan Baton Rouge Open and the Ben Hogan Elizabethtown Open en route to an 8th-place finish on the money list which earned him his PGA Tour card for 1991. He did not perform well enough on his rookie year on Tour to retain his card but got his Tour card for 1992 through qualifying school. After another poor year on the PGA Tour, he took a hiatus. He played some on the NGA Hooters Tour again. He won two Hooters Tour tournaments during this timespan.
In late 1994, Thompson earned his PGA Tour card again through qualifying school. In 1995, Thompson did not do well enough to retain his card but did record his best finish on the PGA Tour of his career, finishing in a tie for fourth at the Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic. He took another hiatus from tour and played on the Hooters Tour again. He won his four Hooters Tour tournaments during this timespan.
In 1999, Thompson rejoined the PGA Tour's developmental tour again, now named the Nike Tour. He recorded five top-10 finishes. In 2000, he played on the developmental tour for the final time.
