Why Dick Mayer ranks #197 in Golf
Dick Mayer ranks 197th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2090th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 64, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 68, Statistics 78. 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 1949–1970 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1957, 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, pga tour wins 7, ryder cup appearances 1, pga player of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Adam Scott on 75.2, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Adam Hadwin on 75.2. 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.
