The Digital Footprints of the PGA Tour’s Top 10

What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news. For first time visitors a more in-depth explanation of what the PeekScore is, and how to increase your own, can be found by clicking through here.

A simple sports list for the PeekScore readership. We decided to see how the world class linksmen in the PGA’s current top 10 measure up in the digital footprint department. We’re not ranking, nor assessing, nor commenting on their golf skills here, nor even the size of their celebrities or endorsements, but instead on their prominence here on the web, as outline above and more in depth here.

Are there any golfers who you would have thought would have a higher PeekScore? Or how about a lower one? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Which of the Past Year’s Top Paid Golfers has the Largest Digital Footprint?

What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.

This is a timely list for a couple of reasons: The PGA Championship just wrapped, finding Rory McIlroy its victor, and only days prior Forbes Magazine released their list of the year’s top paid golfers.

To see how these giants of the fairway compare to one another in terms of their earnings you can check the Forbes list, of course, and if you’re dying to see where these men fall in the sport’s greater rankings numerous golf and/or general sports sites can hook you up with those stats. But what we here at the PeekScore blog can and will tell you is how these world classs linksmen measure up to one another in the realm of digital footprints (i.e., their impacts and prominences here in cyberspace, a concept you can find explained in brief above and elaborated on a bit more at the link found here), and we don’t think many will be surprised by who is topping our list.

Are there any top golfers not included below about whose scores you’re curious? Let us know in the comments.

A simple sports list for the PeekScore readership. The Sports Xchange has compiled their rankings for the 2011 PGA Tour (based on the golfers’ 2010-2011 performances), and we decided to see how these world class linksmen measure up in the digital footprint department. While the scores are statistically very close, and it was a tight race, the actual order of the list is a bit surprising to us. Check it out and see if you agree.

Are there any golfers you’re surprised to not see on this list? Are there any golfers who you would have thought would have a higher PeekScore? Or how about a lower one? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
