Why Pelle Edberg ranks #207 in Golf
Pelle Edberg ranks 207th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2121st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 74.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 62, Peak 84, Longevity 84, Honours 62, 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 2002–2019 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, 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 european tour wins 1, challenge tour wins 3, highest world ranking 120, european tour starts 200.
Immediately ahead sits Tony Manero on 74.4, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Herman Keiser on 73.9. 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.
