Worf was a red shirt when Yar was in security. He switched to Security to take Yar’s position, so it could have been more of a “why not I’d be good at that” situation.
As Tactical officer, he was immensely good- I don’t think people give him enough credit for almost never blowing things out of the sky. Overwhelming force is easy. Controlled, precise and just enough? Yeah. That’s a true maestro at work.
Yar wins. There’s a reason she was head of security before Worf.
that reason is she was better than Worf.
This is the reason right here. Picard knows best!
In fairness, Worf got better with experience, so later Worf vs. Yar might be a different outcome from earlier Worf.
Particularly at keeping Lwaxana away! “Mr. Woof!!! 🐶”

As a chief of security? Ragdoll.
Yeah, he was the birth of a trope! You have to show the alien badass kicking Worf’s ass so that you know it’s strong.
