Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Authority is backed by massive datasets and verified historical figures (LPGA Hall of Fame). The technical gap is minimal, though the missing H1 tag on the homepage and the lack of robust Schema JSON-LD in the crawled data represent minor authority signaling oversights. Athletes like Nelly Korda are presented with granular statistical footprints that eliminate the need for third-party verification.

There are no marketing-heavy performance claims. The site reports performance as a matter of record (e.g., ‘Soo Bin Joo Thrives in the Wind and Builds a 4-shot Lead’). Substance is the primary output, and marketing language is secondary to real-time data.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
