Danny Willett will be hoping to make history when he competes at the 2020 RSM Classic
 
The Englishman was once ranked among the top 10 best golfers in the world having sat on the ninth spot in 2016. 
 
Willett will be looking to become the first European golfer to win the RSM Classic which has been dominated by Americans since its inception in 2010.
 
The Sheffield-born player, who is currently ranked 54th in the world, has won one golf major which was the 2016 Masters Tournament.

The victory saw Willett become only the second Englishman to achieve the feat and the first European in 17 years to win at Augusta National.
 
Willett boasts seven wins on the European Tour this includes the 2012 and BMW International Open and 2014 Nedbank Golf Challenge.
 
The USA-based golfer won the 2019 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Golf Club in England. 
 
This victory at the European Tour's flagship event brought Willett back into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Willett says he is enjoying his golf again having competed at the recent 2020 Masters Tournament where he finished T25. 
 
“I had an undying want to get back there [to the top]. I was willing to change whatever had to be changed and I think that’s pretty hard to do," Willett said. 
 
"It’s hard to jump full throttle into something that you’re not quite sure if it’s going to work out or not. I was able to jump in there and I had the correct people around me," he added. 
 
“All the work that we’ve put in has come forward. To come down the stretch today and enjoy it was beautiful. There was a long time where I didn’t enjoy this at all.”
