Why Wayne Grady ranks #187 in Golf

Wayne Grady ranks 187th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 2062nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 64, Peak 90, Longevity 84, 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 1978–2010 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, 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 1, european tour wins 3, pga tour of australasia wins 5.

Immediately ahead sits Jason Dufner on 76.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Patrick Cantlay on 76.0. 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.
