Why Tony Jacklin ranks #100 in Golf
Tony Jacklin ranks 100th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 3223rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 84, Statistics 80. Those categories are normalised against the full Golf reference universe of 265 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1963–1994 with 32 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1969, 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 titles 2, european tour wins 12, pga tour wins 4, ryder cup appearances 7.
Immediately ahead sits Dow Finsterwald on 82.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Steve Jones on 82.7. 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.
