Why Paul Azinger ranks #157 in Golf
Paul Azinger ranks 157th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 3395th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 78, Statistics 80. Those categories are normalised against the full Golf reference universe of 265 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1981–2010 with 30 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, 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, pga tour wins 12, ryder cup appearances 4, pga player of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Matt Fitzpatrick on 80.4, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Curtis Strange on 80.1. 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.
