Nick Faldo
In 1976, a young Englishman made his first appearance on golf’s professional tour
circuit at the age of just 19.
A little over three decades later, following a career that has included over 40
tournament victories, six Major wins and a record 11 Ryder Cup appearances, Nick
Faldo is today recognised as the most successful golfer that Britain has ever produced.
Through the creation of Faldo Enterprises, Faldo has also become a prolific success
away from the course and is currently more involved with the business of golf than
ever before. The list of companies and initiatives already under the Faldo golf
umbrella include: his world-renowned golf course design company, Faldo Design, currently
involved with over 40 projects on six continents; the Faldo Series, one of the premiere
tournaments for aspiring young golfers in more than 15 countries worldwide; and
a number of other projects in which Faldo plays an active role.
Faldo has also been causing a stir on the airwaves, rather than fairways, having
launched a new career as a television commentator. Faldo’s natural, insightful presence
in the commentary booth has resulted in lead analyst positions for two of the principal
American broadcasters of PGA Tour golf – CBS and the Golf Channel.
