Telegraph: "Even in the singular and self-satisfied world of professional golf, Faldo remains notoriously fond of himself."
/After Kevin Pietersen's claim that "his selfless resignation was the reason for England's Ashes victory" --and who wasn't spellboud by that here in the States--the Telegraph's Thom Gibbs and Mike Norrish prove it's a slow news day for UK sports by putting together a list of sport's biggest egos. Sir Nick made the first spot!
'I've never known Nick," said Sandy Lyle in 2002. "If he walked past me right now, he wouldn't stop to talk. He wouldn't even say hello." Faldo has recently reinvented himself as a commentator for ABC in the US. "Zing [Paul Azinger] was the straight man and I was the funny one, bouncing things off him, going off at tangents," he says of his first forays into broadcasting. Faldo has also branched out into course design and winemaker. "Talking about myself as a brand comes naturally now," he said.
