Sir Nick Faldo is set to return to the broadcasting world with Sky Sports at the upcoming Masters. Moreover, he will also be commentating during the Open Championship later this year. While Paige Spiranac may have claimed the Hall of Famer had lost his ‘spark’ and was ‘bored’, Faldo has a lot to prove to the social media sensation.

Nonetheless, the retired golfer’s commentary will only be heard in the United Kingdom as Sky Sports is only within the British subordinate while CBS and ESPN will broadcast the Masters in the United States. Since the Hall of Famer’s analysis and commentary will also be heard by the people in Europe, Spiranac may not be too concerned with his return.
