James Bradley Simons (May 15, 1950 – December 8, 2005) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1970s and 1980s.

At the age of 21, he shot a third-round 65 to take a two-shot lead after 54 holes at Merion Golf Club near Philadelphia.

A stroke out of the lead on the final hole, his tee shot found the rough and he double bogeyed.

[5] Simons won three PGA Tour events during his career and had over three dozen top-10 finishes; his final win came at Pebble Beach in early 1982.

The Jacksonville/Duval County medical examiner's office ruled the cause of death as accidental "multiple drug toxicity".
