I know a bunch of people think he’s an arrogant prick, but I enjoy his commentary. What y’all think?

I think the PGA is dying and is about to start looking more like LPGA tournaments. But my guess is that he’ll end up at LIV. Especially with Sir Charles turning them down.

I've always liked Faldo. Beats the hell out of Strange and Azinger. Zinger is a good guy, but he's difficult to listen to for some reason.

They already have Feherty filling the analyst role.

Who knows? I think they’d take Nick if they can. Too much credibility for them to pass on.

Nick is not going LIV. He’s one of the ones constantly bashing them. “The 54 Tour”.

GTFO, the PGA Tour is as strong as ever even with the LIV threat. There are so many good, young, talented players it is ridiculous. Look at the Top 20 right now. Any of those guys could legit win any weekend. It's not like the old days when only a couple guys had a chance or when Tiger dominated everything. It's compelling every week to see who is going to gut out the win

I guess this leaderboard of Kim, Huh, Stuard and Henley is really doing it for you. So exciting I can hardly stand myself.

Is there a Palmer, Nicklaus, or Woods caliber player currently on Tour?

Entirely possible there could be a young one coming up. Problem is they will not dominate and win as much because the competition is just that good and deep. It's tough to win.

Tell us you’re a casual golf fan without saying as
Much.

If Faldo was half as entertaining an announcer as he is in his IG shite that keeps popping up on my feed, he’d Be the greatest coloR man golf has ever seen. Tremendous insight delivered in a tragically reserved manner. I’ve grown to enjoy him despite his lack of snap. Wish he’d have broadcasted With the same candor he posts on social Media. Would love to buy him a drink and shoot the shite. Something I’d have never thought simply listening to his commentary on CBS.

The scene just now was great. Nick was so emotional he could barely speak. Shows just how much he loved doing what he did.

It was very moving. Clearly, they all respect each other and enjoy working together.

I've always enjoyed Faldo in the booth. I think he knows the swing and obvs. what it takes to win. I enjoy Brit. humor and the odd phrasing though, which I understand is not for everyone.

I love Nick. Bring back Johnny Miller though. Problem solved.

Why would you choose Faldo over Nicklaus?
