What has driven Britain's most successful and most complex player to remarkable success?

From the Back Cover
Faldo has been branded one of the coldest men in British sport - at times better known for being aloof, arrogant and self-obsessed than for winning three Open Championships and three US Masters. But after thirty years as a professional golf player, his career continues to reach highs and his influence is even stronger than it was in the 1980s.
What has driven Britain's most successful and most complex player to remarkable success? From golf superstardom to failed marriages and inexplicable losses in form, the updated edition of Nick Faldo: Driven analyses exactly what motivates this seemingly inscrutable man.
Now Faldo, MBE, is on the comeback trail, playing better golf, boasting a new family and launching a charm offensive on the media. But there are new questions to ask. Has he lost the very ingredient that made him a champion? And, as a new generation of players takes the lead, what sacrifices does Faldo have to make to keep his legend alive?

Excellent
This book reminded me very well of Faldo's two triumphs at Muirfield which I witnessed. I found this book a great read which explains very well Faldo's enormous achievements. And there is still a chapter as Ryder Cup captain to be written! The only thing missing is there is no explanation of Faldo's wife changing but then golf is the focus and this in no way removes my assessment.
