Why Mark Brooks ranks #161 in Golf

Mark Brooks ranks 161st among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2006th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 68, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 72, 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 1983–2013 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1996, 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 7, ryder cup appearances 1, best season wins 3.

Immediately ahead sits Nick Price on 78.0, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Charles Coody on 78.0. 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.
