Why Larry Mize ranks #110 in Golf
Larry Mize ranks 110th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1922nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 92, Longevity 90, Honours 74, 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 1980–2023 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1987, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 1, pga tour wins 4, ryder cup appearances 1, masters appearances 38.
Immediately ahead sits Cristie Kerr on 81.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is John Mahaffey on 81.0. 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.
