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.

The 2026 Husqvarna British Masters will be staged at The Belfry on the iconic Brabazon Course in England. In addition, Husqvarna will also be the official robotic mowing partner of the DP World Tour.

“Golf is the perfect stage to demonstrate the performance of Husqvarna’s robotic lawnmowers, already delivering world-class results at over 1,700 courses worldwide.

This partnership marks a shared commitment to reinvent golf course maintenance for a new era”, says Yvette Henshall-Bell, President Europe BU Husqvarna Forest & Garden Division, Husqvarna Group.

GREAT CHAMPIONS

First played in 1946, the British Masters has a distinguished history with past champions including Peter Thomson, Tony Jacklin, Bernhard Langer, Ian Woosnam, Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie and Sweden’s Alex Noren in the 2025 tournament.

Six-time major winner Sir Nick Faldo, himself a Husqvarna Brand Ambassador, will return as host of the Husqvarna British Masters in 2026.

“As a former Champion, I take great pride in hosting this iconic tournament and it’s about to enter an exciting new era with this new partnership.

I love Husqvarna’s products, and they will be out in full force at The Belfry next August to make sure the Brabazon Course is in perfect condition”, says Sir Nick Faldo.

As part of the agreement, Husqvarna also becomes an Official Marketing Partner of the 2026 DP World Tour, building on the successful partnership in 2025.

PARTNERSHIPS IN 2026

In 2026 Husqvarna will be the Official Tournament Partner to the British Masters and the Amgen Irish Open, Corporate Partner to the BMW International Open, KLM Open and FedEx Open de France.

With this elevated status, Husqvarna will showcase its products across DP World Tour channels throughout the season, and partner with green keepers and course managers to deliver consistent quality on the tournament courses.

Recently, at the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales, 15 Husqvarna CEORA robotic mowers maintained all 18 fairways during the tournament, marking the first time robotic mowers have maintained fairways live on the world golf stage.

Extremely happy. It was unbelievable week for me. I haven’t played like this for a long time. Kind of struggled — I didn’t struggle the first two days but I scored really well from maybe not the best of play. Then the last three days, I don’t think I’ve played like this for a long time.

So super happy and super happy to do it here in Britain. I seem to love British people and British courses. So it’s wonderful here.

Q. 2-under through the first three. How much was that the perfect start to settle any nerves you had going into today?

Especially on 2, everybody thinks I can’t hook the ball, but I hooked a little pitch in there stiff and I felt pretty proud of myself. It was a good start, and same on 3 with a birdie. It’s so much easier to start like that on a Sunday than to kind of fight and fight from behind.

Q. Obviously the bogey at 9, what did you say to yourself as you made the turn?

It was a mental mistake on the putt. Kind of like the drive on 18, wasn’t really focused enough, and you know, I didn’t trust my line on 9. Didn’t trust my line on 18. Then it’s easier, almost, to take the mistake, if it’s only technical mistake or a bad swing or something like that.

So I said to myself on 9, like, you know, you just have to keep working on it. That’s what I did every day on the putting green. You can’t be upset after. So just kind of acknowledge what’s wrong, and then work on that, yeah.

Q. Obviously you mentioned there a misalignment on 18. You had a two-shot lead coming down the last and not the drive you wanted into the trees. How nervous were you or what was your thought process on the final hole?

I was a little bit nervous. More tense than nervous, maybe. But also, there was no, I couldn’t see if I was two ahead or one ahead.

Then the wind — right now, there’s no wind. But it was kind of ten miles an hour into, and we’ve had always that downwind this whole week, and so the line kind of changes. I don’t know, it should have been a bit more aggressive line than I tried to take. Because if I just missed it a little, I was in the bunker. Sort of a mental mistake. I’m happy to get the job done, anyway.

25th in The Race to Dubai now and obviously exemptions that come with this win. How does this change your goals or your outlook for the rest of the season?

Yeah, I still have to play some over in the States after Wentworth. But I think it was great to do it. Also, my kids are coming to an age when they actually love golf and they watch me on TV. I try to say “hi” to Iris and Roy and my wife, Jennifer. It’s lovely that they can be a part of it and maybe they can — my boy wants to come out and watch me play, and it’s great.

Q. You missed seven months of Ryder Cup qualification through injury. Yesterday I suggested to you if you win here or next week or both, Luke Donald is going to be considering you and you dismissed me. What do you think now?

I still think it’s dismissed (laughs). Yeah, it would be great. But I’m more just happy to get this win. Like you said, first time in seven years, it feels great.

Q. After two rounds, you said you weren’t happy with your ball-striking. You got in touch with your coach and he gave you some advice. That vice obviously led to this victory. You owe him a very large dinner, don’t you?

I do. I’ve owed him for like 13 years. It was great just to get a little bit better setup. Just overall, a little bit cleaner swing, and it really paid off. I didn’t have to do my crazy practise swing, and it felt good.

The post ALEX NOREN: BRITISH MASTERS WINNERS INTERVIEW appeared first on Golf News.

The six-time Major champion talks to Matt Nicholson about his move to Montana, the future of golf course design, hosting the British Masters, and why short courses are the next big thing

Sir Nick Faldo still has a lot on his plate. His playing days and long stints in the commentary booth with CBS may be behind him, but the man from Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire has more than enough going on to keep him occupied.

On quiet days he’ll take the dogs for a long walk, and he’ll be very content. However, when he’s busy, he’s busy. Moving to the mountains in Montana to build a farm has been one project, but he has lots of others on the go.

For starters, there’s the design business. As well as an exciting new layout in Madeira, the six-time Major winner, who has designed award- winning golf courses on five continents and in 20 different countries, is behind several short course projects in America and in the UK.

He’s also the host of this year’s British Masters at The Belfry on 28 August-1 September. He might be busy, and there might be times when the dogs miss their master, but, as he tells us, he wouldn’t have it any other way…

Why did you decide to up sticks and move to Montana?

After Covid, we were about to build on Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Then we thought we wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle. We’d visited Montana a few times.

I used to go up there and fish with Huey Lewis. I had a project that was almost on the Canadian border, Wilderness Club. We went there for a couple of summers with the dogs and loved it.

We thought, ‘Why don’t we build ourselves a farm?’ That’s how it all started.

Do you enjoy the slower pace of life?

It’s nice for me, on some days, to just go, ‘What have I got to do?’ My only priority might be to go and walk the dogs. That’s nice, because when I’m busy, I’m busy.

We’ve also got more involved with the community. I’m an ambassador for a great club called Crazy Mountain over Livingston way.

I love it over that side. That’s the old Marlboro cigarette ranch. We’ve got our own – they call it town. We’ve got a genuine cowboy town, with the saloon, the jailhouse, the fire station, the brothel.

It’s very cool. It’s genuine – over a 100-year-old wooden building. We’re amongst 3,000 acres of gorgeous mountains. You’ve got rivers, you’ve got golf. Everyone enjoys the good things in life, which is nice.

What’s your design philosophy?

I’ve got a good eye and a good strategy – that was the way I played. I’ve seen all the great golf courses, and I’ve got a very good photographic memory.

I can visualise the [Alister] Mackenzie’s and the George Thomas’s. I love Colts and, in modern day, Pete Dye. You look at those and go, ‘Would I do that?’ That sort of thing – or you might be inspired by it.

I’m a big fan of trying to make it fit as naturally as possible.

How much of a challenge is that?

It’s tough sometimes. In Cambodia, for example, we had a thousand acres with four feet of movement. You’ve got to do a lot of dreaming and a lot of pumping sand. Or we get the opposite. In Vietnam, we had to blow up rock to create golf holes. You’ve got to have a good engineer who can understand it.

You can get all this dirt and rock. Where do you push it all? Or where do you get it all when it’s flat? It’s really an engineering feat. Luckily, I’ve got smart people who know how to do that!

Tell us about your new project in Madeira…

Madeira is one that we’re very excited about, what with the views in this little corner of the island. It’s very undulating. We’re going to make a lovely golf course with a little boutique hotel, about 100 rooms, so not huge.

Are there any specific projects you’re particularly fond of?

Laguna in Vietnam is a great site because of its variety. I guess the ultimate is to have as much variety as you can. Here, you start off through meadowlands, then rice fields, a bit of jungle, beach, down the river, through the rocks, back in the jungle, and then you finish the last four or five holes with huge blowouts of sand. You get a little bit of everything, which is very cool.

We always consider the history of the site. Putting something in is a bit of a trademark. For example, in Cambodia we’ve got buddhas and temples, a miniature scaled-down version of Angkor Wat on the golf course. We were inspired by that. This is the fun bit.

I always enjoy having no preconceived ideas when I go to a golf course, because you want to be inspired by what’s there. I think that’s important. We’ve got a few other ideas up our sleeve. It’s going to be fun. The design business is going very well.

What are some key trends you’re seeing in the golf course design industry?

The blowout look on bunkers is something they’re going heavily on. They can look fabulous, but for the average golfer who goes left and right, you’re making life more difficult.

If they hit a poor shot, they’re going to leave themselves 60-yard bunker shots all day long. There’s a fine balance between building a resort golf course and a pro golf course. That’s something we’re always mindful of.

How has the evolution of golf equipment impacted your designs?

Distance has exploded over the last ten years. The best example is Firestone, which we used to play in the World Series.

We would be hitting 2-, 3- and 4-irons into the par 4s. The 9th was a good drive, and you’d end up on the top of the hill. You’d have a 2-iron into this little green that was 210 yards out. Now they smash it over the hill and have a gap wedge.

I’d come back and tell my architects. It used to be 300 yards through the air – that was impressive. Then it went to 320. Now we’ve got quite a few guys who can do 340 through the air. When you design, you start thinking, ‘Where’s the golf ball going to end up?’ Making a strategy is very difficult.

If a drive goes 340, and pros can hit 240 with their 4 -iron, that’s 580. It has changed the game dramatically for course design.

How much different has it been designing the new short course at Chart Hills?

I’m very proud of it. I’ve been beating this drum for years. So many hotels don’t have room.

You say, how about 12, but they want a championship golf course. That drives me up the wall. People are recognising the fun playing short courses.

Building a 12 -hole golf course ticks all the environmental boxes: the water, construction costs, time. Time is the big thing now, where people must try and please everybody.

You’ve got a family but you want to disappear and play some golf. Eighteen is a long day, so I’m really pushing the 12 -hole concept as much as I can.

Your six-hole ‘Loop’ at Chart Hills is proof that golf can be fun in a shorter format…

Absolutely. I was able to draw inspiration from many of the great places and holes I’ve played at the likes of St Andrews, Muirfield Village, and Augusta.

It’s a great challenge for golfers of all abilities. We have our very own ‘Valley of Sin

It’s fantastic, unique. I think golf courses of this nature are only going to get more popular, and what we have at Chart Hills is very special. I’d encourage anyone to go and play it.

Are you working on other short course projects?

We’ve got a great project up at Big Sky. We’d like to do six holes for kids, and we’d like to do a nine-hole par-3 course.

Hopefully we can cart that one because you’re at 8,000 feet plus! Then maybe there’s a 12-hole course which could be serious. It’s quite a challenging project, but I think it could be ground breaking.

We’ve also got a little company I’m forming with Paul Jansen and my architects called ‘Golf in Small Spaces’. People love to have anything from a single green in their back garden all the way up to three, five, ten, 30 acres.

As we’ve seen, the popularity of them is fantastic.

The skill is to design where, if you’re brand new to golf you can roll it along the ground, and if you’re a decent golfer you can cut the corners and getting the ball to stop is a great challenge.

So I’m very excited about trying to build that side of golf.

What was it like to take on the role of host for the British Masters?

It’s a nice honour since I won that one. It’s something America has done so well over the years, with celebrities and the likes of Arnold [Palmer], Jack [Nicklaus] and Tiger [Woods].

I think our tour should do more of that. Seve would be a great one to honour, and probably Rory in the future.

All I’m trying to do is build awareness of the event, make it more British. I think that’s a fun thing.

I’ve requested that all the music to be played should be British bands. There should be no problem with a playlist on that! Little touches like that.

What’s been the most rewarding part?

Well I’m not playing. I’m there all week. I’m quite happy to give it time, get it to grow as best as
I can and make the fan experience as good as possible.

I’ve got some great ideas for the fans’ village. So we will see how we can just keep expanding it. I have my own pavilion, which is very cool, wonderful food. I love hosting people up there.

What do you think makes the British Masters stand out from other tournaments on the DP World Tour calendar?

The Belfry has a great central location. We can get good fans and create a very good atmosphere.

As I said, we can make it as British as possible. We have a good date, and in the future, we can encourage a few more top names to come and play.

It’s always a great challenge to play The Belfry, especially when you get a little bit of weather, a little bit of wind in there, and then the tricky finish. It’s always going to get a great champion.

The Faldo Series is also still going strong…

Well, that week we also host our Faldo Futures event. We have our grand final, which was a great success the first year.

We had about 1,600 participants, which was whittled down to about 120 youngsters. They loved it. We want to expand that, make that bigger and better.

The 32-year-old was two back on Saturday morning but put on an incredible display to reach 16 under par to surge clear of South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence, who sits second at The Belfry on 12 under.

Nørgaard showed his intention from the off with a birdie at the first, with another following at the par-five third after seeing an eagle putt burn the edge. He added a third gain at the par-five 7th to make the turn at three under and with the lead.

The two-time Nordic Golf League winner then pressed down his advantage as he entered the back nine, birdieing the Brabazon’s iconic 10th hole after driving the green at the par-four hole, before making it back-to-back red numbers with another three at the par-four 11th.

MONSTER PUTT

He then reeled off a run of three birdies from the 14th which culminated in a monster 42-foot putt down the slope at the par four 16th.

Nørgaard dropped his only shot of the day at next, the par five 17th, after hitting a wayward drive into the trees, but reclaimed that shot in front of a packed 18th hole with a ninth and final birdie to put the finishing touches to a fine round.

The Dane’s third round effort earns him the 54-hole lead for the second successive year at the British Masters after being part of a six-way leading contingent in 2023, but he will have to fend off four-time DP World Tour winner Lawrence who is his closest challenger among the chasing pack.

Frenchman Jeong weon Ko is two shots behind Lawrence in third on ten under, with England’s Andrew Wilson two shots further back after a closing double bogey.

Second round leader Tyrrell Hatton had a torrid day on the Midlands course, with the LIV golfer firing four bogeys and a treble-bogey seven en route to a four-over-par 76 that saw him drop into a share of seventh place and 10 shots off the lead.

Faldo returns to the tournament hosting role for the second consecutive year as the DP World Tour’s 2024 season enters its ‘Back 9’ at the renowned venue where Faldo made three of his 11 appearances for Europe in the biennial contest, in 1985, 1989 and 1993.

The six-time Major champion is keen to see some of the European players get off to a good start as the campaign to make Captain Donald’s 12-man European team for Bethpage Black next September begins in earnest.

LIV GOLF

Among those hoping to do that will be Tyrrell Hatton, one of his team members in Rome in 2023, who is targeting a fourth consecutive Ryder Cup appearance.

Despite having joined LIV Golf in January, Hatton has not given up his DP World Tour card and is awaiting a court decision on whether he will have to pay fines for the LIV Golf tournaments that he has played in that clashed with DP World Tour events.

Sir Nick Faldo said: “We have a very good field this week. I’ve got 16 of my Faldo Series alumni as well, a couple of Englishmen. The course looks great.

Looks like it had a nice drop of rain – I thought it might be burnt in August after a baking summer, but we didn’t have that. I think we’ll have good excitement with the fans and it should be a fun week.

“It’s week one of Ryder Cup points, and I know with me, I would have been out there. It’s a great chance for somebody. I hope a European guy wins this week, and he’s like, good start. Get in there early.

Get your points. I’m sure this is a goal, especially after Rome, a big goal of all the players that want to make the next team.”

RYDER CUP POINTS UP FOR GRABS

Luke Donald, who it teeing up this week, added: “I’ve watched many Ryder Cups and events at this place, but never actually played an event or played the course. I’m excited to be here and playing a British Masters.

“It’s exciting for me to see the points race starting. As a player, I remember when that started and I was very excited about getting going again, and kind of gave me an extra boost.

“And actually having a chat with Sir Nick, he was saying in Ryder Cup years, when the points started, even if I was 30th, I would grind to the last few holes to see if I could get 20 more points.

You think about these things now and I think that’s exciting for the players.”

Incredibly, Tyrrell Hatton admitted that he has never played The Belfry before. He said: “This actually my first time here playing the golf course.

When we walk past the tenth, I have hit that tee shot on my dad’s simulator over the years, so it’s exciting to finally be here. It’s an historic venue in British golf and European golf. So I’m very much looking forward to it.

“The Ryder Cup is certainly one of the reasons why I wanted to play this week. The Ryder Cup is really important to me and I’d love to be on that team next year, and this is the perfect week to try and get off to a good start.

“I think any time you’re playing in front of home fans is always going to be a special week and for me personally, I’d love to go out there and play really well.

Make loads of birdies and give the crowd something to cheer about as will all the other English guys playing this week.”

With holes ranging from 50 to 100 yards, ‘The Loop’ is a six-hole course situated opposite the driving range, providing golfers with a unique and challenging experience, perfect for honing their short game skills and enjoyable before or after a round of golf.

In addition, the new 668 square metre practice putting green is also now open for use for members and guests. Adjacent to the first tee, this putting surface draws inspiration from the sites of Sir Nick Faldo’s favourite greens, including its very own ‘Valley of Sin’, as well as taking inspiration from Muirfield Village and Augusta.

NEW TEE BOXES

Elsewhere, as part of the next phase of the enhancements to the Faldo-designed championship course, all 18 holes have recently benefitted from an extensive refurbishment of the tee boxes.

The renovation involved stripping the tee boxes down to the soil, levelling them out, installing additional drainage where required and then returfing the tees. The result is 72 immaculate tee boxes that can withstand foot traffic and weather year-round.

The refurbishment has also included replacing all of the tee markers, which are now named based on their yardage, with the ’71’ tees representing the 7,100-yard course, followed by the 66 tees, 61 and 55 tees, which should be selected based on playing ability and the distance each golfer is capable of hitting the ball.

The club has also announced further investments, which will include its first on-site accommodation, set to provide premium suites for stay-and-play packages and wedding parties.

ONSITE ACCOMODATION

The Barn at Chart Hills, just a short walk from the main clubhouse, will provide five bedrooms of luxury, boutique-style accommodation for up to 10 guests and is set to open later this year.

“We’re proud to have unveiled the new amenities, including The Loop. It’s the result of a period of intense work from the team. The fact that it’s already been so well received is gratifying,” said General Manager, Anthony Tarchetti.

“We’re equally excited to be unveiling the latest development plans here at Chart Hills, with further investments still to come as we strive to create the very best facilities for members, guests and visitors.

Since 2019, Chart Hills has undergone a complete transformation, and under our ownership that will only continue in the future.”

“The project enhances the fine details of the course that golfers love and appreciate, as well as encouraging golfers to play from the tees that best fits their ability, improving the playing experience for everyone” Tarchetti added.

ENCOURAGING THE YOUNGER GENERATION

Commenting on The Faldo Futures, Matthew Faldo, Tournament Director of The Faldo Series, said: “We’re delighted to be launching The Faldo Futures Tour for 2024. Encouraging the younger generation to participate in the sport is fundamental to its continued success and we’re very much looking forward to seeing hundreds of young people play golf, but more importantly have fun, during the first round.”

Golf clubs are now being invited to participate in the new tour by staging their own competition between March 22 and April 14. In addition to helping encourage participation of the sport among young people, clubs will receive support for their event including a digital competition platform, digital promotion pack, official Faldo Futures Venue logo, prizes for the winners and listing on The Faldo Series website.

The club will also benefit from the increased exposure by providing follow-up junior tuition opportunities and junior membership.

“We’re extremely excited to be working on another important phase in the enhancement of facilities at Chart Hills,” said General Manager Anthony Tarchetti “When we closed the course in 2020 to initiate our fairway sand-capping project, Chart Hills proceeded to undergo a complete transformation, and this project is about building on that foundation and continuing to improve the experience we can offer. This next stage is about improving the fine details of the course, which we know golfers love and appreciate, and will no doubt cement us as one of the best golf venues in the southeast.”

What’s included in the renovation at Chart Hills

The renovation of the tee boxes will begin by completely re-laying three tee boxes per hole. The tee boxes renovated will be the standard playing tees – blue, yellow, and red. After completion of the first group of holes the team will move onto the remaining holes.

This period will also see the completion of the six-hole, Sir Nick Faldo-designed par-3 course – with holes ranging from 50 to 100 yards. Inspired by the career of the former world number one, the short game loop will offer huge variety, with specific design features dawn from iconic holes at St Andrews, Augusta National, and the main course at Chart Hills.

In addition, a 668-square metre putting green located beside the first tee, also created by Faldo Design, will be officially opened for use. The green features elements of Faldo’s favourite greens from his major wins at St Andrews, Augusta and Muirfield – including its very own Valley of Sin. The new putting green was open for use on August 1.

Unlike 2020, when the club had to close the course for renovation work to take place, Chart Hills will remain open throughout the project, allowing members and visitors to play a continually improving course with minimal disruption.

The post Chart Hills begins second phase of renovation project appeared first on Golf News.

Work on the first phase of the course construction, which first began in 2009 before being halted three years later, recommenced in May and is due to be finished next summer. The second phase of the project is then expected to take a further 18 months to complete.

New course will be state of the art

In line with Madeira’s sustainable credentials and to preserve the natural charm of the course and its environment, Ponta do Pargo Golf Course – which is owned by Ponta do Oeste S.A – will adopt a number of measures to reduce the environmental impact across the 120-acre site, including the installation of a state-of-the-art irrigation system.

Situated on the most westerly point of Madeira Island in the Ponta do Pargo region, the par-72 layout, the first new course in Madeira for 22 years when it opens, has been designed in a location of unrivalled natural beauty on a hilltop setting surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition to the 18-hole golf course, Ponta da Pargo will also feature practice facilities including a driving range and chipping and putting green; a nine-hole pitch-and-putt course; a clubhouse and restaurant and a hotel when fully completed.

Will be one of the most beautiful courses in Europe

Miguel Albuquerque, president of the Regional Government of Madeira, said: “We are now going to move forward with one of the most beautiful courses in Europe – I am not afraid to say it – which will be located in a parish in the west of the island, next to a promontory over the sea.

“It will be one of the iconic courses at European level and be an anchor project for the whole area.”

Madeira currently features three first-class 18-hole golf courses – Palheiro Golf, Clube de Golfe Santo da Serra and Porto Santo Golfe – as well as an array of outstanding historic, cultural and lifestyle experiences.

GREAT CLIMATE FOR GOLF IN MADEIRA

Located approximately 1,000km from the European mainland – and just 500km from the African continent – the island destination enjoys an amazingly mild climate, ranging from 25°c in the summer to 17°c in the winter, with very mild average temperatures and moderate humidity, making it the perfect year-round location for a golf break.

The best way to enjoy the island’s golf is with a Madeira Golf Passport which, providing holders with an unrivalled golf experience, is available to both individuals and groups and can be booked on a three or five-round basis.
