People love to hate on Sir Nick for the occasional gaffe or stumble, but he is truly one of the best to ever do it. Nobody else has his combination of wins on the course and experience in the booth. He's been in the tower longer than I've been watching golf. He knows the game inside out and his love of the game shines through in the broadcast. He will be missed.
Sad to see you hang it up Nick. But what a blessing/treat it was to hear and see you on tv during many of golf’s greatest moments. You will surely be missed but deserve everything you want going forward. Cheers to more time with family and for all the memories.
When I was in middle school, on vacation in Orlando, I went to play golf with my Dad at Nick Faldo's course at the Grand Vista Resort (golf course isn't named after him anymore), when we showed up, Nick was actually practicing on the putting green. My Dad grab a scorecard, handed it to me and said, "THAT'S Nick Faldo! Go over and ask for his autograph!", I did and Nick couldn't have been any nicer. I have a very nice framed autographed scorecard from him: "To Tom, Best Wishes, Nick Faldo"
Usually when someone out of the blue like this announces his retirement it's for health reasons. Glad to hear that's not the case. Good for him, he'll be missed. God bless
Nick hit it right on the head.. I for one, don't want to watch exhibition golf (LIV), I want to see the top pro's missing the cuts, I want to see them winning also, it's part of Competitive Golf and where nobody's can come out of no where and win, hence the U.S. Open 2022..
This whole argument is funny. Why should players worry about tournament play and maybe making money when they can go to exhibition play and make guaranteed bank? The only thing that is ridiculous about this whole thing is the players refusing to acknowledge that they are leaving because of money.
Great interview. Love Nick. Could not stand him when he constantly killed the US in the Ryder Cup. And hated seeing Norman collapse against him at Augusta. But he’s an all time great and one of the best golf commentators of all time. Very likable.
I thought it was tradition for the caddy to get the 18th flag after a win? Just like Mickelson, Faldo kept them all...Bones finally got a flag with JT and his PGA win... I like Faldo, always have, but his caddies deserve the winning flag for their work as their trophy... Tradition
Nick built a shrine to himself. Nick is now gonna go become a commentator on the Skin Walker Ranch in Montana and do play by play commentary of the Montana Vortex. Cool
Dan heres the longer term question... If 5-6 -10 people keep moving to LIV every week or even mnthly can they continue with just 48 man fields and keep everyone happy? I know they are giving money up front to the bigger names which could assist in missing a week but if they have 100 - 125 members how can they continue with 48 man fields?
@@timwilliams9163 also for the shotgun start format. But that's why they're wondering 'what the long term goal' is -- they have unlimited money and can easily fit as many as they want, increase the purse size, add more events, change it to a normal hole #1 and #10 start. This is what the Tour is trying to prevent. Not enough people thinking this through.
do a three hole loop on the ranch nick, par3, nice dog leg par4 and then a 600 yard finishing par5 gem. The mowing alone will keep you young. then get all the fuzzy animals.
No way, he has a worldwide foundation/junior golf academy that may overshadow LIV in the future, he ain't being Norman's b#tch like all of these turncoat golfers. Faldo does things the right way, he doesn't try to buy his way in using daddy's $$$$. Not to mention he kicked Norman's a## at the masters....another Norman major choke.
Anyone find it interesting that Nick is hanging it up for the same reasons the players are leaving the Tour!?!? He said it himself - there are other things he wants to do and other interests and they don’t align. How many guys Nick’s age are twice or thrice divorced? How many guys missed their kids entire lives? Very interesting and so ironic to my that he literally says the same thing the LIV guys are saying but doesn’t make the connection. Curious to hear others thoughts…
Watched LIV Golf… streamed online… non-stop golf vs. constant commercials on the US Open and the PGA. And they don’t have to work has hard and travel as much… more time for their families. It’s a business decision.
DJ playing with marching powder in his beard, Patrick Reed using his trusty foot wedge, Phil betting on his own matches. Guaranteed money, what could possibly go wrong?
I liked having Faldo calling the shots. At least he was a champion golfer and he never made it about himself. Nantz is terrible in my opinion. He doesn’t really know golf, never played the sport at a high level, and he’s always spinning things around to be about himself or his own memories that literally nobody cares about. Immelman will probably do fine, but Faldo brought a unique champion perspective.
Faldo is retiring from commentating? It looks like can un-mute my television during the broadcasts. I would say that gives him more time to drink, but it appeared that broadcasting didn't get in the way of that.
these old guys seem to forget the dp tour, asian tour, japan tour. There's lots of tours that don't have great fields who get world ranking points and nobody watches. LIV golf isn't exhibition. If so, then MLS is exhibition soccer
Good for him. Too many announcers hang around way too long. Now if nantz would retire a lot of people would be happy to be rid of him. Faldo was very good, a notch behind Miller but like Johnny he’s not afraid to speak his mind.
"Jack did it"...yeah..Jack also undermined the then current tour, leaving it with other top players to form a new one, effectively destroying the current tour. See how that works, hypocrites?
There are 20-25 players in the history of the PGA that cared about majors... How does the average fan think Billy Casper compares? Or Lee Tervino, Hebert Green, how does the golf word think about one of the best major competitors in Larry Nelson that dominated in majors and ryder cups..but never was asked to be a Captain. How does the world view Hale Irwin, Curtis Strange? I could keep going... The PGA tour F'D up and didnt meet with LIV, and now the event in Portland has more "MAJOR" winners tahn the even in Iowa..so if what you said is correct, the 54 hole event has more star power than the ho hum event in Iowa.
The only way I can watch PGA tour is to record it and watch it wIth the sound off and fast forward through the endless commercials and self serving so.called analysts that just state the obvious. They should mike all the players and caddies and eliminate all analysts.
lol liv golf is literally unwatchable -- I couldn't care less who leaves the PGA tour for LIV. They weren't playing competitive golf and are no longer in contention on the final day of a major. So, good riddance. Brooks Koepka is now a youtuber.
Couldn’t agree more. LIV is a joke. They are nothing but exhibitions for a paycheck. Why in the world would golf fans care, that an already filthy rich golfer, becomes more filthy rich?
What? Mickelson just won a major a year ago. Johnson wasn't far back this weekend. You guys just mad for some reason. Don't know why. Watch or don't watch. LIV is not unwatchable. That is just dumb to say.
The ultimate money vs morals... the LIV tour is for the guys who can't win on the pga tour anymore... LIV is nothing more than a benefit scramble tourney that pays a truck load of cash...
@@TyJStern smoking a little crack are you ? pga tour 40 billion? just say you don't like them - that is such a ridiculous # there is not $40 billion in all of golf maybe if you include real-estate but come on man get a grip
Most golfers from the top 50 in the world won’t sign up for LIV even though they probably won’t make 150 millions because they have different values than Brooks. For them it’s about legacy and competition and being good and decent citizens of the world. For Brooks it’s all about money and free time. What a champion!!! Gone and done.
Pay all the field, even if they miss the cut - after all, they are all making you money (sponsors & broadcasting). Golf has changed, there are too many talented pros these days......the market will decide. I believe Liv will change and evolve.....don't expect it to stay the way it is.....
They didn't kill the guy, they didn't participate in it. The US Gov participated in it by keeping complicity silent about it, as a government. Golf players aren't politicians, nor governments. Why do golf players have to share your beliefs? Who the fuck are you? Leave ppl the fuck alone. Like Collin Morikawa said, people don't know WTF is going on behind closed doors and are just gossiping and talking out of their asses.
yeah i get what your saying but honestly these guys are not wired like that - don't know how many tour players you know - but if get very far outside of talking about golf or some sport - your going to be talking to yourself . Great players but pretty one dimensional characters
With the depth of talent today, winning multiple majors like Jack or Tiger is out of reach. If simply winning tournaments isn't motivating enough, then it's about the money. If that's the case, young players should go wherever they can cash in. It's a business.

He's singing with Liv

Have always loved and respected Nick. A good guy and a gentleman
Always admired Nick Faldo for his hard work and his commitment to make his swing great and consistent.
What a nice man! He will love Montana. Good health and God Bless.
Sir Nick signed my Dad's hat at the Ryder Cup at Chaska MN. Thank You Nick!
Love the collection
CBS are fools for not giving Faldo a half season
Usually when someone out of the blue like this announces his retirement it's for health reasons. Glad to hear that's not the case. Good for him, he'll be missed. God bless
Sir Nick was a mess his last day in the booth! Lol.
He better still do the Masters
Agreed and nice name 😉
Great champion who added great insight as announcer.
Funny how at the 8:48 mark it appears that a woman in a towel can be seen coming in and then back out of the room in the trophy case reflection. 😄
We all expect to see Nick broadcasting the LIV tournaments soon...
LoL I think Norman wants to stay as far away as he can from him.
@@Duck-D-Koi Yep but business is business
Lol. Nope. Sorry.
I doubt it but anything is possible
He was an amazing player, great announcer and always a gentleman.
Sounds just like what happened with Cart & Indy car. It was a disaster for both.
when Faldo first started i never thought i would like him, but i have. its to bad he is packing it in
Certainly more engaging than when he played.
""you ain't going to win out here mate" 😂 the character Nick faldo would be a hilarious cartoon voice
He’ll be commentating on LIV within a year.
Months not a year
EXACTLY!!
So?
@@Beantown85 I think it would be good, he will have time for wifey and golf analyst job.
I doubt it
Love your commentary mate. Gonna miss you.
The BBC will have him just for the majors.
Why can’t LIV be preparation for the next major? Because there are no cuts? Not sure that holds up...
always a class act. Love his story of developing as a golfer. Great interview. Wish him nothing but the rest with his Montana zoo.
Love Faldo
Nick hit it right on the head.. I for one, don't want to watch exhibition golf (LIV), I want to see the top pro's missing the cuts, I want to see them winning also, it's part of Competitive Golf and where nobody's can come out of no where and win, hence the U.S. Open 2022..

I don't think Nick wants to have to talk about Greg Norman every Sunday.
Who would?
He should lick Greg's shoes for choking away the Masters to him.
I can't tell if these 2 don't like each other or it's all for fun
Good for you Nick
Great interview. Love Nick. Could not stand him when he constantly killed the US in the Ryder Cup. And hated seeing Norman collapse against him at Augusta. But he’s an all time great and one of the best golf commentators of all time. Very likable.
Didn't like Nick when he began broadcasting - now - I'm really sad he's retiring.
Why do you have John Daly garden statues?
LIV golf where everyone gets a trophy
You mean a shit ton of 💰
Faldo was always the BEST to see playing the game. Good broadcaster too. liv? hope NOT
Faldo is the best
He doesnt have everything... I have his Valhalla Ryder Cup staff bag in my golf shop
What course are you at? That's awesome!
@@tomspencer4371 shadow ridge in palm desert, california
@@Leftylobber damn! Looks amazing!
Legends on the niagara for me. 🇨🇦
If you’re not banned from playing in majors, it’s a no brainer decision to go to LIV tour.
I thought it was tradition for the caddy to get the 18th flag after a win?
Just like Mickelson, Faldo kept them all...Bones finally got a flag with JT and his PGA win...
I like Faldo, always have, but his caddies deserve the winning flag for their work as their trophy... Tradition
It would be hilarious if he announced he was doing analysis for LIV. Did he buy the land from John Dutton?
Where'd he get all those extra clarets?
They give back the original after a year and then they get a smaller replica to keep for every time they win the claret jug
Nick built a shrine to himself. Nick is now gonna go become a commentator on the Skin Walker Ranch in Montana and do play by play commentary of the Montana Vortex. Cool

I will miss sir nick
8 hours later and Nick does a Brooks and announces he’s going to be a full time analyst for Liv Golf. 🙂
No way, he has a worldwide foundation/junior golf academy that may overshadow LIV in the future, he ain't being Norman's b#tch like all of these turncoat golfers.
Faldo does things the right way, he doesn't try to buy his way in using daddy's $$$$. Not to mention he kicked Norman's a## at the masters....another Norman major choke.
I doubt it
Wouldn't that be interesting.
Totally agree!
Even Brooksie waited atleast 72Hrs before he backdoored the PGA - let's give it until the weekend ... 🤓
Has liv asked you to come over? Lol the first thing I thought of was Greg and Nick. I guess people don’t remember, but you know they don’t lol.
they will rue the day

See you in liv next year sir nick, he retired from full time broadcasting, what a legend
Why is this turning into another LIV conversation?
He'll be paired up with Terry Gannon on the LIV tour
Watched LIV Golf… streamed online… non-stop golf vs. constant commercials on the US Open and the PGA. And they don’t have to work has hard and travel as much… more time for their families. It’s a business decision.
football about to take over golf needs controversy
What a consummate pro, Nick Faldo.
DJ playing with marching powder in his beard, Patrick Reed using his trusty foot wedge, Phil betting on his own matches. Guaranteed money, what could possibly go wrong?
11:19
“No, I’m not gonna be a mess.”
Yeah, that aged terribly.
Nick had the best controlled swing since Ben Hogen - new more aobut the golf swing than just about anybody.
If it is an exhibition, go out there and beat them Faldo!
I think tiger is going to replace nick as the major announcer?
I’d watch that! Will miss Nick! Sir nick....
which brings us to sir nick‘d it!
He doesn’t want that minimum wage
That'd be something...can't picture or imagine it working for so many reasons
