Why Patrick Cantlay ranks #80 in Golf
Patrick Cantlay ranks 80th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 974th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 68, Honours 72, Statistics 82. 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 2011–present with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes fedex cup titles 1, pga tour wins 8, player of the year awards 1, ryder cup appearances 3.
Immediately ahead sits Pádraig Harrington on 74.6, a gap of -1.4 points. Directly behind is Viktor Hovland on 76.4. 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.
