Why David Lingmerth ranks #200 in Golf
David Lingmerth ranks 200th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2097th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 66, Peak 86, Longevity 78, Honours 64, Statistics 86. 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 2011–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes pga tour wins 1, korn ferry tour wins 2, highest world ranking 56, pga tour top-ten finishes 12.
Immediately ahead sits Orville Moody on 75.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Joaquín Niemann on 74.8. 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.
