Newly crowned Masters champion Danny Willett has joined the PGA Tour following his shock victory at Augusta, it was announced on Monday.
Willett, 28, has been given a five-year exemption which will allow him to play on the tour until the 2020-21 season, the PGA tour said in a statement.
The world No 9 was also handed 600 ranking points in the FedExCup for his Masters triumph earlier this month.

Willett needs to finish in the top 125 in the FedExCup standings to gain entry to the lucrative end-of-season FedExCup Playoffs.
The Englishman was ranked outside the top 100 as recently as November 2014 but on April 10 became the first Briton since Nick Faldo in 1996 to win the green jacket.
Willett was a surprise victor on the final day in Augusta, snatching the title after a spectacular collapse by defending champion Jordan Spieth on the back nine.
The Masters title was Willett’s second of the year following his victory at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February.
