Sir Nicholas Alexander Faldo, MBE (born 18 July 1957) is an English retired professional golfer and television commentator. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time,[1] he was renowned for his dedication to the game,[2] he was ranked No. 1 on the Official World Golf Ranking for a total of 97 weeks.[3] His 41 professional wins include 30 victories on the European Tour and six major championships: three Open Championships (1987, 1990, 1992) and three Masters (1989, 1990, 1996).
Faldo has since become a television commentator for major golf championships. In 2006, he became the lead golf analyst for CBS Sports. In 2012, Faldo joined the BBC Sport on-air team for coverage of the Open Championship.
