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.
It might work in favor of boosting Faldo’s image as an influential broadcaster for the sport’s best events. Do you think the Englishman’s tactic could work wonders for his extended sports broadcasting career? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
