Preliminary design work is already underway and Nick Faldo is due to visit Belek at the end of September to finalise the routing plan for all 27 holes. Construction is scheduled to start towards the end of this year and the owners aim to open the facility in late 2006. In addition to the 27 holes of ‘Faldo Championship golf’ and a state-of-the art practice and game improvement facility, the Cornelia Golf Resort will feature its own premium tier c. 300 bedroom-hotel and a number of associated luxury golf villas.
Today, as winner of 6 Major Championships, Nick Faldo is the world’s most successful non-American golfer of the modern era, and deservedly takes his place amongst the game’s elite as a golfing icon. Nick is very much a competitive golfer but as a new generation of golfing talent emerges—many of whom Nick himself has nurtured—he is able to devote more time to his off-course interests.

[T]he relationship between Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods has a competitive edge and it isn't just their golf clothing that can clash on the course. When the two played recently, Faldo was wearing a red shirt and Woods an orange � anybody knows orange and red do not match. Some believe the two players still haven't gotten over a personal feud after Faldo said a few critical comments on American television. And although Tiger is happy to joke off course, when he's playing he doesn't do small talk. Woods is unlikely to ever be seen in golf clothing that was flippant; he dresses like he plays � all business.
New Delhi, Nov 8: Six-time Major champion, Nick Faldo has an eye on India. The booming Indian golf market has lured the legendary Englishman to India, where he is expected to start a signature golf course project next year.

From 1987 to 1992, Nick Faldo bagged five majors. He held the top spot in the World Golf Ranking for 81 consecutive weeks. When he decided to play on the PGA Tour full-time, he beat Greg Norman at Doral in his first event. In golf... things rarely remain the same. Faldo's ranking has dropped well into the hundreds but, as Senior Instruction Editor Glenn Monday found in a recent interview, golfers haven't seen the last of Nick Faldo. His thoughts on his swing, the game itself and the challenges it provides offer clues that Faldo is still a player to be feared.

On the night of his 30th birthday, July 18, 1987, Nick Faldo's career had known its ups and downs. After winning 11 times on the European tour, and once in the United States, between 1977 and 1984, Faldo hadn't won at all for three years, until the rot had been halted at the Spanish Open two months previously. Now, he was a shot out of the lead in the Open Championship with 18 holes to play. The next day, Faldo took the title, paring every hole of that final round in the drizzle at Muirfield. The overnight leader, Paul Azinger, bogeyed the last two holes and Faldo had won by a stroke. Since then, it seems he has hardly stopped accumulating majors, even though he lost a US Open playoff in 1988.
