Why Nick Taylor ranks #163 in Golf
Nick Taylor ranks 163rd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2008th 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 70, Peak 88, Longevity 78, Honours 74, Statistics 84. 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 2009–present with 11 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 pga tour wins 4, canadian open titles 1, presidents cup appearances 2, seasons on tour 12.
Immediately ahead sits Charles Coody on 78.0, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Carlos Ortiz on 77.9. 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.
