NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today that World Golf Hall of Fame member, six-time major
championship winner and former World #1 ranked player Sir
Nick Faldo will host a new show on
SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (XM channel 93, Sirius channel 208).
Nick Faldo Radio will debut this January and air monthly
throughout the year.
"I am most excited about this new opportunity to talk golf with
golfers and people you may not know are golfers; to get to know
golf enthusiasts and have them get to know me," said Faldo.
"We are going to have fun connecting with those connected to
SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio. I look forward to some real
entertainment."
"Few people can offer a more experienced and informed
perspective on golf than Nick," said Scott
Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content
Officer. "His accomplishments on the course – which include
six major championship victories – put him among the game's
all-time great players, and he has built a remarkably successful
second career in the broadcast booth. SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio
will offer him a new forum where he can interact with his audience
and fans can call in to ask him questions throughout the
season."
Before he became one of the most prominent broadcasters in golf
as the lead analyst for CBS and Golf Channel, Faldo built one of
the greatest resumes in the sport. His more than 40
professional wins include six major championships – three Masters
and three Open Championships – and he spent 98 weeks atop the World
Golf Rankings as the sport's #1 player. He is also one of the
most outstanding Ryder Cup competitors in the annals of that
event. Starting in 1977, at the age of 20, Faldo played for
11 consecutive European teams and he remains today the leading
individual point scorer from either side in Ryder Cup history.
He is widely regarded as the most successful golfer that
Britain has ever produced and for
his contributions and service to golf, Faldo received a knighthood
from Queen Elizabeth II in
November 2009. He is the only
living British golfer to receive such an honor. He was
inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1998.
Through the creation of Faldo Enterprises, Nick is more involved
with the business of golf than ever before. The list of companies
and initiatives already under the Faldo golf umbrella include: his
world-renowned golf course design company, Faldo Design, currently
involved with over 50 projects on six continents; the Faldo Series,
one of the premier programs for aspiring young golfers; and a
number of other projects in which Faldo plays an active role.
SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio offers live golf play-by-play of PGA
TOUR events and major championships. This year the channel
unveiled an expanded programming lineup that offers the best daily
golf talk, news, analysis and instruction on radio. In
addition to Faldo, hosts on the channel include World Golf Hall of
Fame members Ben Crenshaw,
Fred Couples and Hubert Green, Henrik
