Why Susie Maxwell Berning ranks #59 in Golf
Susie Maxwell Berning ranks 59th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1827th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 1964–1980 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1968, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major championships 4, us women's open titles 3, lpga tour wins 11, rookie of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Jack Burke Jr. on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Louise Suggs on 83.5. 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.
