The 33-year-old has won seven tournaments on the European Tour including two Omega European Masters titles and one trophy on the PGA Tour.
 
Willett won his first major championship at the 2016 Masters Tournament, becoming the first British player to win the competition for 20 years, Nick Faldo having won in 1996.
 
It remains his only win on the PGA Tour having finished sixth twice at The Open Championship in 2015 and 2019.
 
In the year 2021 Willett tested positive for COVID-19 and he also underwent an operation to remove a hernia. 
 
Willett says he is happy to be back playing on golf courses and he is now managing fatigue having played in several tournaments this season.
 
"Me and my wife both had it [COVID-19]. We were both in isolation. It wasn't pleasant there for a while," Willett said. 
 
"So on the back end now and feeling a hell of a lot better. Now lucky to be back. Been back in the gym the last five or six days, back hitting balls, feels OK.
 
"It's just a case of managing fatigue and making sure I don't over-exert too much because this is the start of a pretty decent run."
