Why Shigeki Maruyama ranks #70 in Golf

Shigeki Maruyama ranks 70th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1844th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 74, Statistics 90. 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 1992–2015 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, 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 pga tour wins 3, japan golf tour wins 10, presidents cup appearances 3, lowest competitive round 58.

Immediately ahead sits George Archer on 83.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Hollis Stacy on 82.9. 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.
