Why Laura Davies ranks #24 in Golf
Laura Davies ranks 24th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 701st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 84, Longevity 92, Honours 80, 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 1985–present with 26 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1993, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity 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 4, lpga tour wins 20, ladies european tour wins 45, solheim cup appearances 12.
Immediately ahead sits Babe Didrikson Zaharias on 86.5, a gap of 3.5 points. Directly behind is Peter Thomson on 84.4. 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.
