 Golf World reacts to Nick Faldo's departure on Sunday

After 16 years at CBS, Nick Faldo is hosting his final PGA Tour event this weekend at the Wyndham Championship.

It was understandably an emotional experience for Sir Nick, who was as much a mainstay on the air as he was on the pitch during his playing days.

It's fitting that CBS gave Faldo a moving send-off, and he's also paying tributes aplenty on social media.

Before hitting the airwaves, Faldo, 65, had 30 wins on the European Tour and nine on the PGA Tour in a professional career that spanned nearly four decades.

Those nine PGA Tour victories included six major titles: Faldo won the Masters in 1989, 1990 and 1996 and the Open in 1987, 1990 and 1992.
