Why Michelle Wie ranks #77 in Golf
Michelle Wie ranks 77th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 937th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 74, 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 2005–2023 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, 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, lpga wins 5, solheim cup appearances 4, career-high world ranking 4.
Immediately ahead sits Cameron Smith on 78.8, a gap of 1.6 points. Directly behind is Xander Schauffele on 78.5. 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.
