Why Ryo Ishikawa ranks #172 in Golf
Ryo Ishikawa ranks 172nd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2026th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 86, Longevity 82, Honours 70, 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 2007–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, 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 japan golf tour wins 19, japan money list titles 2, lowest round 58, presidents cup appearances 3.
Immediately ahead sits Webb Simpson on 77.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tom Creavy on 77.4. 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.
