Nick Faldo finished 16 years on the air with CBS on Sunday, with the network delivering its final golf broadcast of the year with the Wyndham Championship.
And it was a tough goodbye for the former golfer who’s been known not to hold back on some of the golfers he’s commented on.
His longtime partner Jim Nantz asked him for his final words, and as he broke down, he said, “I blew it” before bursting into tears. He tried saying a few thank-yous to the crew and mentioned “I’ve found these three brothers” to his on-air partners.
It was Nantz who had this to say: “Thank you, Nick, for gracing this booth and our lives. And now, you and Linds will go to your happy place. To the big sky of Montana. God bless you, Nick. Thanks my friend.”
Faldo responded, “I’m ready.”
