Why Ed Furgol ranks #202 in Golf
Ed Furgol ranks 202nd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2103rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 66, 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 1945–1970 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1953, 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 6, ryder cup appearances 1, pga player of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Joaquín Niemann on 74.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Pádraig Harrington on 74.6. 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.
