Why Peter Hanson ranks #105 in Golf
Peter Hanson ranks 105th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1911th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 78, Statistics 88. 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 1998–2019 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2018, 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 european tour wins 5, ryder cup titles 1, masters top-five finishes 1, highest world ranking 21.
Immediately ahead sits So Yeon Ryu on 81.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Lydia Ko on 81.1. 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.
