Faldo named as host of Belfry tournament
Golf legend Sir Nick Faldo has been announced as the new long-term host of the Betfred British Masters, which returns to The Belfry Hotel & Resort near Sutton Coldfield this year.
The six-time Major winner will host the event which takes place on The Belfry 's award-winning Brabazon course from 29 June to 2 July.
Faldo not only played and won at The Belfry in the Ryder Cup on three occasions but also made history with his famous hole-in-one on the 14th hole in 1993.
The achievement is commemorated with a plaque on the famous course.
Faldo (pictured) said: “It 's a real honour to be given the opportunity to host the Betfred British Masters, particularly at a venue as iconic as The Belfry.
“It 's a place that is synonymous with British and European golf, and we 've been treated to some incredible moments there over the years. ”
Having returned to The Belfry in 2021 and 2022, the Betfred British Masters is to remain at the Wishaw course for the next four years.
Resort director Chris Eigelaar said: “It 's also an absolute privilege to have Sir Nick Faldo hosting the tournament, a true icon to all golf players.
“We can 't wait to welcome all players and spectators back to the Brabazon course this year. ”
