Why Amy Alcott ranks #26 in Golf
Amy Alcott ranks 26th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 708th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 86, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Golf reference universe of 266 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1975–2011 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 5, lpga wins 29, hall of fame inductions 1, vare trophy wins 1.
Immediately ahead sits Peter Thomson on 84.4, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Meg Mallon on 83.6. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
