Why Stewart Cink ranks #63 in Golf

Stewart Cink ranks 63rd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1835th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 80, 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 1995–present with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, 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 championships 1, pga tour wins 8, ryder cup appearances 5, presidents cup appearances 4.

Immediately ahead sits Donna Caponi on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Nick Faldo on 83.1. 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.
