Why Dave Marr ranks #147 in Golf
Dave Marr ranks 147th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1985th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 76, Statistics 82. 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 1953–1974 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1965, 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 championships 1, pga tour wins 3, ryder cup appearances 1, ryder cup captaincies 1.
Immediately ahead sits Mike Weir on 78.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Emiliano Grillo on 78.7. 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.
