Nick Faldo
Arguably England's greatest golfer, Faldo owns six major titles -- three Masters and three Open Championships. Known as one of the most fearsome competitors in golf, Faldo was on or near the top of the world rankings for most of his professional career. His first PGA Tour victory came at the 1984 Sea Pines Heritage Classic where four rounds in the 60s provided him a one-shot win. Faldo was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
