With the Masters turning out to be a blockbuster, everyone has been anticipating Faldo to overturn his decision. But while there’s no news on that front, his Twitter engagement is still very much active, as seen with his latest quirky opinion.

Is Faldo returning to golf?

Back in June last year, Faldo made the announcement of his retirement from broadcasting after the end of the season. Yet, the three-time Green Jacket winner couldn’t hold himself back for a quick return to the studios for the Masters week, which left everyone celebrating.

But is his appearance for the rest of the tournaments confirmed? As seen by his comeback, the yesteryear golf great won’t return to a full-time gig anytime soon, but a few occasional appearances could become a norm.
