Faldo and Norman Reunite
The Golf Channel aired an “exclusive” interview on Monday night with Greg Norman and Nick Faldo, hosted by Vince Cellini. It was an interesting show in that Norman was interviewed first by himself and Cellini threw him mostly softballs that Norman handled very deftly (I’m shocked). The thing that struck me most is that Norman will not say anything that resembles a compliement about Tiger Woods.
I’ve said before that there’s something Norman doesn’t like about Tiger and it was evident again on Monday. It’s got to be competitive jealousy that’s eating at Norman. He’s got everything else any sane man would want in this world, save for multiple majors at Augusta. It’s too bad because Norman is a very articulate and intelligent spokesman and would be an incredible bonus for the Champions Tour, but he’s got some old baggage he’s still carrying around.
Faldo then joined Norman and it became a love-fest for the remainder of the show as they reminisced about the 1996 Masters where Norman blew a 6-shot lead on Sunday and lost to Faldo.
