“The Open and St Andrews will forever hold a significant place in my heart,” the 57-year-old Briton said in a news release on Monday.

“My fondest moments on my journey with this great sport are woven with pictures and emotions in this setting. It all means a huge amount to me.

“I look forward to celebrating all that golf has given me as I cross that storied (Swilcan) bridge and the wonderful memories I share with many people. I am grateful for it all and grateful to golf.”

Faldo won the Open at St Andrews in 1990 and at Muirfield in 1987 and 1992. He also landed a hat-trick of U.S. Masters titles in 1989, 1990 and 1996.
