Sir Nick Faldo retired as a golf analyst recently. Since he was the CBS golf lead analyst for the PGA Tour coverage for the last 16 years, many golf fans were disappointed when he retired. However, it was not the case with the former professional golfer, Paige Spiranac. 

“I was a big Faldo fan but I feel like he should have retired about five years ago.” the 29-year-old said. “Because he just… I don’t know if he just lost interest in it,” she further explained. “Maybe just getting a bit senile.” Spiranac expressed her thoughts about Sir Faldo’s retirement through the latest episode of her podcast, ‘Playing a Round with Paige Renee.’  

The professional golfer turned golf analyst had chosen the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic as his retirement venue. He received an emotional farewell from his colleagues and CBS crew members then. Notably, most golf fans got teary-eyed by watching their favorite golf analyst cry on tv.
