Why Chick Evans ranks #62 in Golf
Chick Evans ranks 62nd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 3097th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 92, Honours 80, Statistics 78. Those categories are normalised against the full Golf reference universe of 265 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1907–1962 with 56 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1916, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes us open titles 1, us amateur titles 2, western amateur titles 8, us amateur appearances 50.
Immediately ahead sits Bob Charles on 84.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Harold Hilton on 84.5. 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.
