2021 Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship
US PGA Tour
Corales Golf Club
Punta Cana, La Altagracia, Dominican Republic
25-28 March 2021
Danny Willett is set to compete in the
2021 Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in the Dominic Republic.
The Englishman rose to prominence after he won his first major championship at the 2016 Masters Tournament.
As a result, Willett became only the second Englishman to achieve the feat and the first European in 17 years to win at Augusta National.
Willett will now be looking to win the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship for the first time in his career.
The Sheffield-born player, who is currently ranked 43rd in the world, will be making his return to competitive golf at the Corales Golf Club.
Willett had to withdraw from the 2021 The Players Championship after testing positive for Covid-19 earlier this month.

The 33-year-old was replaced in the field at TPC Sawgrass by American Kramer Hickok, the first alternate, who played alongside Patton Kizzire and Jason Dufner in the opening two rounds.
Willett was expected to be back in action for The Masters which will be the first major of the year starting on April 5.
However, the Florida-based golfer will be among the favourites when he takes part in this year's Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship.
Willett recently explained why he prefers using the 3-wood which is designed for long-distance shots from lying in the fairway on long par 4s and par 5s.
“It’s one of those things where if you feel more comfortable with the 3-wood that we’ve had for a long time now," Willett said.
"And you put a better swing on it if you’re not sure about a driver, it’s maybe not worth it. So, we’ll just have to wait and see.”
