Why Jason Dufner ranks #186 in Golf
Jason Dufner ranks 186th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2061st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 66, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 70, Statistics 82. 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 2002–present with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2012, 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 5, ryder cup appearances 2, career-high world ranking 6.
Immediately ahead sits Viktor Hovland on 76.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Wayne Grady on 76.4. 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.
