Why Lionel Hebert ranks #98 in Golf
Lionel Hebert ranks 98th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1899th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 76, Statistics 88. 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 1956–1980 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1967, 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 pga championships 1, pga tour wins 5, ryder cup appearances 1, career years 25.
Immediately ahead sits Olin Dutra on 81.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Keegan Bradley on 81.5. 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.
