Why Webb Simpson ranks #70 in Golf
Webb Simpson ranks 70th among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 911th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 77.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 86, Longevity 78, 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 2008–present with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 1, players championship titles 1, pga tour wins 7, ryder cup appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Henrik Stenson on 77.2, a gap of -0.2 points. Directly behind is Ariya Jutanugarn on 79.3. 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.
