Why Lee Trevino ranks #22 in Golf
Lee Trevino ranks 22nd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 696th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 87, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1960–2000 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1971, which sets the Peak component at 87. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 6, pga tour wins 29, us open titles 2, open championships 2.
Immediately ahead sits Ayako Okamoto on 84.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Babe Didrikson Zaharias on 86.5. 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.
