Why David Duval ranks #49 in Golf
David Duval ranks 49th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1804th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 94, Longevity 76, Honours 82, Statistics 88. 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 1993–2019 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 1, pga tour wins 13, weeks at world no. 1 15, lowest round 59.
Immediately ahead sits Amy Alcott on 84.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Mark Calcavecchia on 84.2. 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.
