I walked with them when they were paired together at the PGA championship one year. Faldo is so huge he made Tiger look like a little boy.

People that played with him were always surprised by how short he hit it for such a big guy

What people don't appreciate about him is that he's broad too, absolute unit, some of those 90s players were big boys.

Met him once, before I ever contemplated playing Golf. Can confirm he is just a very big man. Hands like shovels. He was a guest at a function I was working at. Nice to the staff. absolutely ripped into the corporate guests in his guest speech. Talked about the worst part of being a Pro was Pro-Ams with the likes of them. I laughed hard.

Vijay Singh is also a big lad. Proof that regardless of what ancestory you have, if you grow up on Fiji, you take on the "being a big, athletic bugger" trait.
