Why Jock Hutchison ranks #119 in Golf

Jock Hutchison ranks 119th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 3262nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 80, Statistics 80. Those categories are normalised against the full Golf reference universe of 265 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1910–1935 with 26 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1921, 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 2, pga tour wins 12, western open titles 1, senior pga titles 2.

Immediately ahead sits Jim Ferrier on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Scottie Scheffler on 81.8. 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.
