Camilo Villegas: exploring the forgotten PGA Tour fan favorite golfer's story

The Columbian golfer was an early success story on the PGA Tour. Until 2014, he recorded four sensational wins which were the BMW Championship, The Tour Championship, The Honda Classic, and the Wyndham Championship. However, over the years, his game saw a dip that eventually left him out of the leading Northern American golf tour.

Camilo Villegas and his family faced another tragic incident on July 26, 2020 as his daughter, Mia, lost her life battling tumors in her spine and brain. This incident left him and his wife in deep shock and eventually forced the golfer to stay away from the game for quite a long time.

Although the loss of his little one left Villegas distorted, he said in one of his media interactions that he was trying to reconnect with the game of golf that he once loved.

Camilo Villegas played on the Korn Ferry Tour and other Q-School events in search of his long-lost form and golfing skills. He recorded his last top-10 finish at the 2021 Honda Classic, where he finished tied for the eighth spot on the leaderboard.

Finally, after missing seven cuts this season on the PGA Tour, he went on to record his first top-10 finish, in the past two years, at the World Wide Technology Championship. Despite losing to Erik Van Rooyen in El Cardonal at Diamante, he received immense support from the fans and colleagues.

In the following week at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, Camilo Villegas had a very different approach and his shots seemed to be just like his game from 2010s. He shot 67-63-65-65 in four rounds to end his nine-year win drought on the PGA Tour and record his fifth title victory.
