Jaime Gonzalez (born 25 July 1954) is a Brazilian professional golfer, and is one of the few from his country to have enjoyed success on the international circuit.
His father Mário won the Spanish Open as an amateur in 1947. Gonzalez was born in São Paulo.
He attended Oklahoma State University in the United States and won the individual title at the 1974 Eisenhower Trophy.
He was the Brazil Amateur Open Champion in 1969, 1971, 1972 and 1976. Gonzalez turned professional in 1977 and shortly thereafter represented Brazil twice in the World Cup, in 1978 and 1979.
Gonzalez earned membership on the PGA Tour for two seasons (1980, 1981) but did not have much success.
His best finish was T-5 at the 1980 Sammy Davis Jr.-Greater Hartford Open.
In 1982, he turned to Europe where he had much more success.
He played on the European Tour between 1982 and 1987 and won an event, the 1984 St.
Mellion Timeshare TPC.
In addition, a month after his victory, he was on the top 10 of the 1984 Open Championship after the first two rounds.
He eventually finished T-28.
His rank on the European Tour Order of Merit was #16 that year, his best ever.
