Why Tom Lehman ranks #61 in Golf
Tom Lehman ranks 61st among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 1829th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 80, 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 1982–present with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, 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 5, champions tour wins 12, ryder cup appearances 3.
Immediately ahead sits Louise Suggs on 83.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Donna Caponi on 83.3. 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.
