New Masters champion Danny Willett is not about to change his season schedule confirming he will contest the events on the European Tour schedule he had penned earlier this year.

One of those events is next month’s Irish Open.

Confirmation of Willett’s appearance at the K. Club was forthcoming within an hour of the Sheffield-born player being fitted with an Augusta green jacket.

Defending Masters champion slips the green jacket – a size 38R – onto new champion Danny Willett.

And Willett will become the first reigning Augusta National winning hero to compete in an Irish Open since 1994 when Spain’s Jose Maria Olazabal finished fourth at Mt. Juliet.

“Danny is not going to change one bit as he’s going to play in Ireland, the BMW PGA, France and Switzerland,” said Andrew ‘Chubby’ Chandler and ISM manager to Willett.

“So, Danny’s schedule will remain the same as it was three months ago.

“And Danny won’t be distracted.  He knows just exactly what he’s trying to do.

“Winning the Masters is the start of the journey, not the end of the journey.

“And this win is also great for the European Tour.  It’s great for English golf. It’s great for Danny Willett.  It’s great also for Yorkshire golf, and we have a lot of great Yorkshire-born golfers.  We’ve had Matt Fitzpatrick up there, and we’ve had Lee Westwood tied second, so what a great week we’ve had.”

The larger-than-life Chandler was shown around the world embracing Willett with not one but some three ‘bear-like’ hugs.

Danny Willett not about to change his schedule because he won the Masters.

It’s a fifth Major Champion for Chandler’s stable starting with Louis Oosthuizen (2010 Open), Charl Schwartzel (2011 Masters), Rory McIlroy (2011 US Open) and Darren Clarke (2011 Open).

And when asked his feeling, Chandler responded:  “Satisfaction!  We’ve had a funny time.  We’ve had Major Champions.  We’ve had Major Champions leave and I put all my faith in two Yorkshiremen in two guys called Fitzpatrick and Willett.

“You have guys like Westwood and Clarke who have been unbelievable loyal and now we’ve got these two younger guys who are going to be proper players.  So for ISM it is almost like the start of another era.”

Willett’s stunning three shot victory has finally also seen him reach the potential he had promised in making the 2007 GB & I Walker Cup at Royal County Down.

That year he was a team-mate to McIlroy but in a side that lost to a Star Spangled team including Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson, Billy Horschel and Jamie Lovemark, who led going into the final round of last fortnight’s Shell Houston Open.

But while the likes of McIlroy, Spieth and Fowler had won some of the biggest tournaments in golf Willett was held back with nagging back issues.

Indeed, McIlroy had already won a first Major in 2011, along with five other Tour titles, before Willett broke through at the 2012 BMW International Open.

“Danny would have easily been on that same level with guys like Rory and Jordan, and who were also in the 2007 side, had it not been being held back by his back injury,” said Chandler.

“He lost two years but he had seen how everyone who player in that Walker Cup had gone on to play so he knew he could also do well.”

And while Willett has now moved to No. 9 in the world, Chandler reckons he can go all the way to the game’s top-ranked player.

“He’s got a great work ethic as anyone here this week to be No. 1 in the world,” said Chandler.

“He will be if he’s not already.  He’s is that good, he is that good.  It would be nice to have one of those European. Rory is European but lives in West Palm whereas Danny lives in Sheffield.  I think he might live for a bit next year in West Palm.

“And Danny will take up his PGA Tour membership next year. He turned it down this year but he will take it up next year.”

And Chandler painted the private side of Chandler, the father of a son less than a fortnight old and the owner now of a Masters green jacket.

“Danny has been asked whether he uses a sports psychology but he doesn’t use one as he said he talks to his dad and that’s what he does,” said Chanlder.

“He writes little thank you letters.  When Keith Pelley emailed him to say congratulations on having the baby, Keith got an email back straight away.  He just does the right thing and he thinks if he does that, he is not going to go too far wrong.  It’s simple.

“He just does the right thing.  He works so hard in the gym.  Partly because of his back and because he wants to.  So he will be here for long time.”
