One of the greatest golfers of the twentieth century - ranked number one in the world for a record number of weeks - Nick Faldo has come to embody the very essence of the successful, competitive international sportsman.
Faldo was a teenager when he was taken by the full majesty of golf while watching the 1971 U.S. Masters in Augusta on television. He was inspired by Jack Nicklaus, then at the height of his power, and within five years of taking up the game Faldo had outgrown the amateur circuit to become a tournament professional himself.
His single-minded search for perfection drove him through a period when he was struggling with his game. He rebuilt his swing and his confidence to go on to win golf's most coveted title: the 1987 Open Championship at Muirfield. Since then he has continued to capture many of the world's most prestigious titles, including two more Open Championships and two U.S. Masters. In addition he has been a key member of Europe's revitalized Ryder Cup team during the epic campaign of recent years.
Faldo: In Search of Perfection chronicles Nick Faldo's life on and off the golf course, offering a rare insight into this complex and driven man. It looks at the unending hours of labour that go into the making of a champion, as well as the precision, grace and competitive spirit that have made Faldo such a prolific winner. He talks of his personal pursuit of excellence and how he plans his life to cope with the extraordinary demands of the modern sporting hero while ensuring sufficient time for family and friends. Time off from the pressures of his professional life also encompasses a passion for fly-fishing, racing cars and helicopter-flying.
Stunning photographs of Faldo in action around the world, rarely seen memorabilia and material from his personal collection, and new pictures of him behind-the-scenes make Faldo the definitive illustrated autobiography of one of the world's great sporting personalities.
