Why Nick Price ranks #63 in Golf

Nick Price ranks 63rd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 880th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 82, 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 1977–2014 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 3, pga tour wins 18, weeks at no. 1 44, player of the year 2.

Immediately ahead sits Ian Woosnam on 77.8, a gap of -0.2 points. Directly behind is Scottie Scheffler on 81.8. 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.
