Why Max Faulkner ranks #140 in Golf
Max Faulkner ranks 140th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1974th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 68, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 72, 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 1946–1980 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1950, 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 open championship titles 1, ryder cup appearances 5, professional wins 16, spanish open titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Michael Campbell on 79.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jon Rahm on 78.9. 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.
