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.”
