Why Todd Hamilton ranks #194 in Golf

Todd Hamilton ranks 194th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2080th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 64, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 68, Statistics 80. 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 1987–2019 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, 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 2, japan golf tour wins 11, best season wins 2.

Immediately ahead sits Madelene Sagström on 75.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Wyndham Clark on 75.4. 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.
