Why Shaun Micheel ranks #215 in Golf
Shaun Micheel ranks 215th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2154th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 72.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 60, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 64, Statistics 78. 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 1992–2019 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 1, pga tour wins 1, major runner-up finishes 1, career span in years 27.
Immediately ahead sits Payne Stewart on 72.9, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is James Foulis on 72.6. 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.
