Sir Nick Faldo shares hilarious post as he poses with $550M-worth tennis legend at the 2025 Masters

Sir Nick Faldo took a hilarious jab at himself on X as he shared a memorable moment from the 2025 Masters. The six-time major champion shared a picture with tennis icon Roger Federer.

Federer, worth $550 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, is a 20-time Grand Slam champion, including eight Wimbledon titles. In the picture shared by Faldo, Federer could be seen in a cream sweater with beige pants. Faldo, meanwhile, wore a green Masters champion jacket and a dark polo and captioned the picture:

"Some people need a nametag and a green jacket so you know who they are! (laughing and tennis ball emoji)"

Faldo implied that Federer doesn't need a name tag or green jacket for people to recognize him. Despite wearing both, Faldo claimed he isn't as recognized as Federer, who is the bigger global star.

Nick Faldo praised Rory McIlroy's approach after the second round at the Masters 2025. He also said that the Northern Irishman "might just do this time." He said (via The Golfing Gazette):

"I think he's doing great. He's come in with the right…as I was trying to talk about yesterday I'm only guessing what his 'mental plan' is and where he wants to go."

"More than likely, he looks really good and he might just do it this time," he added.

McIlroy is tied for third with a score of 6-under with Corey Conners after the second round at the Masters 2025.
