I only feared him. Those words have weight when they come from Sir Nick Faldo. The man who won six major championships is talking about someone special. Faldo just named the five toughest golfers in history. His list has one strict rule. Every player must have won all four major tournaments. This is called the Career Grand Slam. It is golf's hardest test. Only a few men have done it. Faldo made this list in 2025. That year changed everything. Rory McIlroy finally won the Masters. He became the sixth person ever to complete the Career Grand Slam. Faldo was so moved he cried watching it happen. This moment made him rethink who belongs among the greatest.
