Sir Nick Faldo, is returning home after spending two weeks in Cleveland, Ohio, where he underwent a successful preventative heart procedure.
Faldo and his wife, Lindsay, are now beginning the next chapter of his recovery following the operation.
On January 8, Sir Nick underwent a scheduled open-heart surgery to repair an enlarged aorta. The procedure was performed at Cleveland Clinic by world-renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Lars Svensson, Chief of the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute. The surgery was successful, and Faldo is progressing well under medical guidance.
The Faldo family expressed profound gratitude to Dr. Svensson and the Cleveland Clinic medical team for their expertise, precision, and compassionate care throughout the process.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of his generation, Sir Nick Faldo won six major championships during his storied career, including three Masters titles and three Open Championships.
Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1997, Faldo has remained a prominent figure in the sport through broadcasting, course design, and philanthropic work via the Faldo Series.
As his recovery continues, Faldo is already looking ahead to returning to his golf course design work before traveling to Augusta, Georgia, for Masters Week.
This year’s visit will coincide with the celebration of the 1996 Masters, marking the iconic victory that secured his sixth major championship, often remembered as “Six back in ’96.”
Now headed home, Faldo and his family say the return carries special meaning following the health journey.
Updates on Sir Nick Faldo’s recovery will be shared in the coming weeks through social media channels.
