Sir Nick Faldo’s wife says he’s “doing very well” six weeks after heart surgery.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, English golf<\/a> legend Sir Nick Faldo underwent open-heart surgery to repair an enlarged aorta. Six weeks following the successful surgery, Faldo\u2019s wife, Lindsay, shared an encouraging update about the former PGA Tour star.<\/p>\n Faldo, who won six major championships in his illustrious career, is resting comfortably at home and hoping to make a full recovery by the 2026 Masters<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n Sir Nick Faldo\u2019s Wife Shares Update After Open-Heart Surgery GettySir Nick Faldo is \u201cdoing very well\u201d six weeks after his open-heart surgery.<\/p>\n We hadn\u2019t heard much from Faldo\u2019s camp since he underwent open-heart surgery in January, but that changed this week. On Thursday, Lindsay Faldo shared an Instagram post<\/a> titled \u201cThe Long Road \u2014 Now We Move Forward.\u201d In the statement, she provided a positive update about Faldo\u2019s health and thanked fans for empathizing with the couple.<\/p>\n \u201cThe days leading up to the surgery carried their share of fear. Many of you later shared how deeply you felt that with us,\u201d she wrote. \u201cNow, as we enter six weeks on the other side, there is something different \u2014 relief. The kind that feels like a quiet exhale. The sense that we are over the hump and moving forward with firm ground beneath us.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s doing very well. Recovery is steady, and perspective has settled in where fear once lived.\u201d<\/p>\n Lindsay mentioned how grateful she is for the physicians and nurses at The Cleveland Clinic, where Faldo underwent his surgery. She also wanted to publicize the couple\u2019s journey to help others in similar situations.<\/p>\n \u201cAortic conditions in particular can develop quietly, often without obvious symptoms. If sharing this experience raises awareness for even one person, it\u2019s worthwhile,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019m especially thankful to the many women who reached out to share their own experiences supporting a spouse through major surgery.<\/p>\n \u201cFor anyone walking this path now, know this: fear is real \u2014 but relief comes too. You are not alone. And you do get through it. Six weeks on. Steady. Grateful. Moving forward together.\u201d<\/p>\n Faldo Hopes to Return to Full Health Before the 2026 Masters<\/p>\n We haven\u2019t heard much from Faldo himself since his heart surgery, but his official X account mentioned that he doesn\u2019t plan to be down for long. In a post from last month<\/a>, the account said the 68-year-old will be back to doing what he loves soon.<\/p>\n \u201cNick is now looking ahead to returning to his golf course design work and to the Masters Week in Augusta, GA, where he will be celebrating \u2018Six back in \u201996,’\u201d the post said.<\/p>\n Six back in \u201996 refers to the 30th anniversary of Faldo erasing a six-stroke deficit to Greg Norman in the final round of the 1996 Masters. The win marked his third career Masters victory and sixth major championship, the most of any English player since 1915.<\/p>\n Faldo has been designing golf courses with Faldo Design for 26 years, and he\u2019s eager to get back to work building courses around the world.
