Why Ben Curtis ranks #212 in Golf
Ben Curtis ranks 212th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2144th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 73.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 90, Longevity 74, Honours 66, Statistics 78. 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 2000–2018 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, 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 major titles 1, pga tour wins 4, ryder cup appearances 1, career-high world ranking 11.
Immediately ahead sits Justin Thomas on 73.7, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Jack Fleck on 73.0. 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.
