Why Lloyd Mangrum ranks #81 in Golf
Lloyd Mangrum ranks 81st among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 3154th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 80, 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 1937–1963 with 27 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak 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 1, pga tour wins 36, vardon trophies 2, ryder cup appearances 4.
Immediately ahead sits Susie Maxwell Berning on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Louise Suggs on 83.5. 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.
