Why Yani Tseng ranks #82 in Golf
Yani Tseng ranks 82nd among Golf athletes on GOAT Rank and 994th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 75.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 62, Honours 76, 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 2007–present with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes major titles 5, lpga tour wins 15, weeks at no. 1 109, player of the year 2.
Immediately ahead sits Viktor Hovland on 76.4, a gap of 0.7 points. Directly behind is Payne Stewart on 72.9. 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.
