Why Jumbo Ozaki ranks #25 in Golf
Jumbo Ozaki ranks 25th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2883rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 94, Honours 82, Statistics 88. 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 1970–2010 with 41 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes japan golf tour wins 94, japan money list titles 12, japan open titles 5, career professional wins 113.
Immediately ahead sits Jim Furyk on 87.5, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Bobby Jones on 86.9. 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.
