Nick Faldo marries ex-topless dancer - golf hero's fourth wife and her seventh marriage

Sir Nick Faldo appears to have quietly got hitched again – to his former topless dancer girlfriend.

Lindsay De Marco has now proudly changed her name to “Lindz Faldo” on her Facebook page.

Sources say the 58-year-old, who met Faldo in 2018, “revels” in being a Lady.

It is Faldo’s fourth marriage and the seventh for Lindsay, who has gone by 18 different names and had 42 addresses.

Randy Heine, who was married to her twice, wished Sir Nick, 63, “good luck”.

A source told the Mirror: “Lindz has found everything she wants in a husband - handsome, kind, a knight and a multi-millionaire. What more can a girl ask for?”

So close are the couple TV sources say Sir Nick was keen to include her in his CBS Sports show, called Faldo Formula.

For her new Facebook profile picture, Lindsay uses a photo of herself with the six-time Major winner dressed as James Bond and her as his Bond girl.

Faldo looks into the camera and says: “The name’s Faldo. Sir Nick Faldo. Cheers”.

Two years ago, the Mirror revealed Faldo was dating Lindsay, who has drug convictions and once made her living “jiggling her boobs” in men’s faces.

When approached by the Mirror, she denied having worked as a dancer.

But ex-husband Randy – married to her twice – told how she performed as ‘Toni’ in the mid-80s at his Florida club, Astra bar.

Randy had claimed she kept trading hubbies because she was “consumed” with climbing the social ladder.

He offered to meet Faldo, worth around £38million, saying: “I’d bring him up to date about how long his marriage might last and how much he’ll have to pay if it doesn’t work out,” he said.

Randy and Lindsay got in trouble in 1990 when she was a boss at one of his businesses, The Tobacco Emporium. It was was one of 13 stores in Florida raided by the FBI.

Both were charged with drug offences, including possession of marijuana and selling drugs paraphernalia. Lindsay pleaded no contest and got a $250 fine and six months probation.

Two years later, in a federal court, she struck a deal and entered a guilty plea to one charge of “use of interstate conveyance to ship drug paraphernalia”.

She receieved six months of house detention.

By the time of her sentencing, Lindsay had wed Col Nicholas De Marco, as a “career officer” in the US Air Force.

Although they divorced, she reverted to using his surname at golfing events.

The fourth man she married was Thomas Bracken, and she then wed multi-millionaire Scott Sangalli.

Faldo, who flits across the Atlantic with Lindsay from a £2million bungalow in Florida to a riverside flat overlooking Windsor Castle has been in the rough in his personal life several times.

His marriage to first wife Melanie Rockall ended after four-and-a-half years.

He then married Gill Bennett, with whom he had three kids.

That ended in an estimated £7.5million divorce when, in 1995, he met 20-year-old golf student Brenna Cepelak.

Faldo, who recently became a grandad, left Brenna to marry PR consultant Valerie Bercher.

A spokesman for Sir Nick refused to comment.
