Why Trevor Immelman ranks #157 in Golf

Trevor Immelman ranks 157th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2001st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 74, Statistics 82. 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 1999–2020 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2005, 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 1, european tour wins 4, pga tour wins 2, presidents cup appearances 2.

Immediately ahead sits John McDermott on 78.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Tom Kidd on 78.2. 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.
