Winsen's European Open Event - Divine intervention aids in lightning recovery.
The winner of The Masters in 2016, Danny Willett, had been dealing with pain for a while. However, in September, he decided to undergo a process where doctors operated on two tendons and removed a cyst. Following the procedure, he had to wear a 90-degree brace on his left arm for six weeks. After completing his recovery, he started with rehab. During his amazing comeback last month at the Augusta tournament, he gleamed, "It's great to play without pain."
Willett is now excited about playing on the North Course. He often receives warm support from the German fans, and he recalls, "I won my first win on the DP World Tour in 2012, here in Germany."
Born in Yorkshire, Willett's father, Stephen, was a Church of England priest and encouraged his son's talent from a young age. His mother, Elizabeth, a math teacher, recalls, "He received some pretty terrible excuses to miss school from his father." His family's support has paid off: He's made over €7.5 million from his earnings.
The last time a German golfer won on the DP World Tour was in June 2008. Martin Kaymer (39), a former world number one, took the victory in Munich. Currently, he's competing on the rival LIV Tour.
In 2023, German participants Marcel Siem (43) and Maximilian Kieffer (33) ended tied for second in the European Open at the iconic Ferris wheel hole 18, losing to winner Tom McKibbin (21) from Northern Ireland. Siem reminisces, "I've never experienced such a thrilling atmosphere at a German tournament; it was the best one ever."
On Wednesday, the ProAm starts with celebrity participants, including goalkeeper René Adler (39), football trainers Mirko Slomka (56) and Thomas Schaaf (63), comedian Mike Krüger (72), dog trainer Martin Rüttger (53), photographer Paul Ripke (43), and TV man Gerhard Delling (65). Thomas Gottschalk's son, Roman (41), is also joining.
