Here’s the latest I can share:
- Sir Nick Faldo underwent open-heart surgery in January 2026 to repair an enlarged aorta and was reported to have a successful procedure. He spent about two weeks recovering in Cleveland before heading home, with his team noting he was looking forward to resuming golf-related projects and plans for Masters Week in 2026.[3][4][8]
- Subsequent updates in March 2026 indicated his recovery was progressing well and that he remained on track to participate in Masters Week in Augusta and continue his golf-course design work.[6]
- Coverage from multiple outlets during late 2025 and early 2026 consistently described the surgery as preventative and successful, with Faldo returning home to recover under his wife Lindsay’s support.[1][2][5][7]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent confirmations from major golf outlets or provide a brief timeline of key updates with direct quotes.
