Audemars Piguet's 1st ever Ambassador Sir Nick Faldo talks about defining moments in career
Audemars Piguet is pleased to launch the sixth video in its series of intimate discussions with its Ambassadors, this time with Sir Nick Faldo. One of the world’s legendary golfers, he shares the turning point in his professional and personal life, when he went on to win his first Major at The Open in 1987, after spending two years perfecting his swing.
AUDEMARS PIGUET’S FIRST EVER AMBASSADOR SIR NICK FALDO TALKS ABOUT THE DEFINING MOMENTS IN HIS CAREER
At 13 years of age, Nick was inspired to play golf while watching the 1971 Masters on television. Thanks to his hard work and passion for the game, he won one tournament every year from 1977 to 1982. The first break through in his career came in 1983 when he won five events, making him No 1 in the European ranking by the end of that year. Disappointed by his performance and results for the year that followed, the British golf player decided to reconstruct his swing for the next two long years and the outcome would change his life forever.
He went on to secure six Major titles (three Opens and three Masters), 30 years of success on the European tour, nine victories on the PGA tour and the Ryder Cup points record, leaving an indelible imprint on the history of golf, making him part of an exclusive circle of living golf legends.
Audemars Piguet has strong ties with the world of golf, and in particular with Sir Nick Faldo who became the first ever brand ambassador in 1989. The worlds of golf and watchmaking are interlinked, sharing values such as passion, precision and rigorousness. The video depicts Sir Nick Faldo’s embodiment of Audemars Piguet’s spirit, “To break the rules, you must first master them”.
The release of the video coincides with Audemars Piguet’s support to the 18th Faldo Series Grand Final, taking place at the Greenbrier Resort, West Virginia. His non-profit organisation seeks to give back to the sport and dedicate time to the young generation and nurture future talents.
