Why Cameron Smith ranks #76 in Golf

Cameron Smith ranks 76th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 933rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 68, Honours 78, 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 2013–present with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2022, 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, players championship titles 1, pga tour wins 6, career-high world ranking 2.

Immediately ahead sits Nelly Korda on 79.4, a gap of 0.6 points. Directly behind is Michelle Wie on 77.2. 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.
