Sir Nick Faldo was reduced to tears on Sunday as he finished his final shift as a golf pundit with CBS.
The all-time great, who famously won three Masters and three Open Championships as a player, joined the American broadcast station in 2006. More than 16 years later, he was afforded an emotional farewell by colleague Jim Nantz, who praised him for his extraordinary career on and off the course.
Faldo, 65, became synonymous with golf coverage in the states, and from 2012 also worked with the BBC during The Open. Despite his reputation for possessing a steely demeanour as a player, he won widespread praise from viewers for his dry humour in the commentary box.
