New Masters champion Danny Willett is capable of adding further majors and reaching the top of the world rankings, according to his manager.

The 28-year-old, who capitalised on champion Jordan Spieth's collapse to land his first major on Sunday night, will arrive back in the country on Tuesday having become the first European to win the Masters since 1999 and only the second English player to wear the Green Jacket.

Willett's manager Andrew 'Chubby' Chandler says Willett is targeting more success and believes he can become "one of the greats of his time."

"Winning the Masters is the start of the journey, not the end of the journey, Chandler said. "Danny thinks he can get to No 1 in the world. He won't be distracted. He knows just exactly what he's trying to do.
