Why Donna Caponi ranks #62 in Golf
Donna Caponi ranks 62nd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1834th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1965–1987 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 4, lpga wins 24, us women's open titles 2, hall of fame inductions 1.
Immediately ahead sits Tom Lehman on 83.5, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Stewart Cink on 83.3. 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.
