Why Jack Fleck ranks #213 in Golf
Jack Fleck ranks 213th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2145th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 73.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 58, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 62, 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 1950–1979 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1955, 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 3, us open titles 1, career span in years 29.
Immediately ahead sits Ben Curtis on 73.2, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Payne Stewart on 72.9. 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.
