Sir Nick Faldo is now back home after undergoing a preventative open-heart surgery to repair his enlarged aorta at The Cleveland Clinic.

“We are deeply grateful for Dr. Svensson and his exceptional medical team,” Faldo’s social post read. “Nick is now looking ahead to returning to his golf course design work and to the Masters Week in Augusta, GA, where he will be celebrating ‘Six back in '96.’ Home never felt so good.”

If all goes well, we hope to see the three-time Green Jacket winner in April.
