Why Raymond Floyd ranks #11 in Golf
Raymond Floyd ranks 11th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2631st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 94, Honours 90, Statistics 90. 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 1963–2000 with 38 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, which sets the Peak component at 92. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 4, pga tour wins 22, champions tour wins 14, ryder cup appearances 8.
Immediately ahead sits Bobby Locke on 89.9, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Dustin Johnson on 89.3. 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.
