Why Mark O'Meara ranks #49 in Golf
Mark O'Meara ranks 49th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 826th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 76, Statistics 80. 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 1980–2019 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1998, 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 2, pga tour wins 16, ryder cup appearances 5, player of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Larry Nelson on 80.8, a gap of 0.8 points. Directly behind is Anna Nordqvist on 80.1. 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.
