Why Arthur Havers ranks #112 in Golf
Arthur Havers ranks 112th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1924th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 78, Statistics 86. 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 1920–1939 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1931, 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 open championships 1, ryder cup appearances 3, professional wins 12, open top-ten finishes 7.
Immediately ahead sits John Mahaffey on 81.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Larry Nelson on 80.8. 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.
