Gamez was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. He attended and was a member of the golf team at the University of Arizona . He played on the 1989 Walker Cup Team and turned pro later that same year.
Gamez has had what can be described as a hot and cold career as a professional golfer. He started out hot winning two tournaments in his rookie season on the Tour. In 1998, he was injured in a car accident at the Kemper Open. Between 1998 and 2001, he failed to finish in the top 125. His career hit a low point in 2001, when he failed to qualify for the Tour. Then he began to enjoy a resurgence in his career. He finished in the top-125 every year between 2002-2005 including a T-5 at the Bank of America Colonial in 2004 and a win at the 2005 Valero Texas Open. It was his first win in 15 years, 6 months (394 events), a PGA Tour record.[1] His best finish in a major is a T-12 at the 1990 British Open.
Gamez hosts an annual tournament in Celebration, Florida for the benefit of the [Robert Gamez Foundation]. He lives in Orlando.
