Why Anders Hansen ranks #80 in Golf
Anders Hansen ranks 80th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1866th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 76, Statistics 88. 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 1996–2018 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2016, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european tour wins 3, bmw pga championships 2, highest world ranking 27, professional years 23.
Immediately ahead sits Bob Hamilton on 82.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Betsy Rawls on 82.3. 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.
