watching tigers tournament today and Camilo has lost weight. His guns are much smaller and without the prominent veins like we saw at the end of last season. Not suggesting that he used to take anything, I know he worked out like a mad man, just wonder if he has scaled back and taking a few months to enjoy his recent success. anyone else notice?

Well Ive heard he's into cycling so maybe he's focused on that more than putting hours into the gym, thus leaning him out? Or maybe he's dating a girl now thus sucking the life out of him haha

Camillo is actually a really tiny guy, he did work out hard to bulk up, but I think in a recent clip I read he said he was working on being more flexible and keeping fit and not bulky, maybe he just looked different after he cut his hair. hahaha

I'm actually going to be there on Sunday driving from LA. Hows the traffic going there in the morning, when do you think the best time would be?? Hows the weather, i know its cold, but does it get better in the afternoon?
Does anyone know how to sneak in your cell phones or cameras to these things?? If anyone tells me, i'll make sure to post up pics and vids

i agree. its not worth it.
driving there on a sunday morning shouldn't be bad at all. try to get to the course early so you can watch the guys hit balls and warm up. The weather does warm up some in the afternoon, but dress for bad weather and just bring a back pack or something to carry your clothes in.

he was probably getting too big!
Might have hindered his swing.
I was stood next to him at the British Open for quite a whilst and his upper body is huge.

i remember during his run at the fedex cup that one of the announcers mentioned that he cut his workouts down a little because he used to workout for hours everyday and he was just getting tired from all the work.

I went last year and took a video of TW on the first T of him swinging his club and the dew from the grass spraying all of us in the front row. Then I joked with him about it and he laughed and did it again. He said nothing about the camera. I'll put it up on youtube tomorrow!
By the way, Camillio was small and still is, but can kill the ball. He might be 148lbs? I like this guy!

I watched today and he doesnt look any smaller to me, just a little softer.
BTW, that course looks amazing! I love the layout and scenery. Being born and raised in AZ, I get so sick of desert courses lol

I followed Camilo and stood within feet of him Sunday at the BMW earlier this year, and I really didnt think he was that short at all and Im 6'1". He is built though and he does kill the ball. His drive on 18 that day was absolutely insane, he was way ahead of AK's drive and in a different time zone than Furyk's.

Yeah, he's just a lil sprout. He almost hit me with a drive at #11 at Oakland Hills for the PGA. Came right up the fairway, jammed a 6 iron right at the stick and was gone. Short, but he can pound it.

Was at the Chevron on Wednesday and this afternoon.
FYI - they will check for cameras & cellphones from the spectators!
and to the OP - Camillo was wearing a thin white J Lindberg shirt - so it was pretty form fitting and his guns still have the veins. He may not be as bulky as he was last year, but the dude's definitely still one of the best guys in shape out there. Crushes the ball a mile.
After the round, he was working on his putting and one of the guys was asking him if he was going to work out later in the evening, and he mentioned that he's changed his routine from before. He didn't elaborate as he went into the clubhouse.

I followed the Camilo/Justin group today and my friends said that I am bigger than him. He is actually a small guy but very lean. His tight shirts make his guns look big. haha.

Out of curiosity, when was camille-o actually "big"?

lol He barely looks bigger than his bag. I was a little bit of a fan until he tossed his club during that one tournament. Like a spoiled kid, not becoming of a PGA Professional. It was actually rude to his caddy....

Exactly, he probably wears "sex panther", 60% of the time it works EVERY time!

Here are two pictures below. The New Camilo now Dec. 2008 and then back in April 2008
He is smaller in my opinion but not by that much. Looks like he added more cardio into his workout like everyone else is saying.
During an interview Camilo had this to say below. This confirms the major cardio.
Q. You talked about cycling as a hobby; can you tell me when you first started it, and is it good for golf muscles and fitness or whatever? Wondering why you started it.
CAMILO VILLEGAS: I started about five, six months ago. Is it good for golf muscles? I don't know. I've been playing pretty good since I've been cycling. It's just a way to get out. We have a very busy schedule and busy life and just challenge myself in a different area. I love the challenge and cycling has become I would say a little bit of a passion.

Camilo's trainer obviously ran out of flaxseed oil.
No really, I don't notice any difference in Camilo now and Camilo then. Especially the two pics above. The only difference is the lighting brings out a bit more definition in his right arm in the bottom photo with the black shirt on. His left arm looks equally as ripped and equally sized in both pics.
I want one of those Red Bull belt buckles!!! That thing is SWEET!!!

It's "Ron" Burgundy FYI, and is Camillo being backed by Red Bull now? The reason I ask is his belt buckle in the first photo?

Maybe it has something to do with a new substance policy on the PGA tour?

He is in great shape no doubt, ripped. But he only weighs 150lbs. Put a shirt on him that isn't cutting off circulation, and he won't seem as big.

Dec 22 2008, 08:26 PM
Lol. That's what I've always thought. He is lean and cut, no doubt but a 27" waist and boy's L shirt always makes 13 3/4" biceps look big. He should roll up a pack of smokes in the sleeve.
I'm just busting on him. I like watching the guy and he's got a great transfer of power in his swing. I'm always amazed to read how much distance he added since starting out in College. Also, consider how much he's been playing lately. It takes a lot of working out to mantain the muscle mass. I know when I stopped working out I dropped from 190 to 170 in 3months.

Dec 22 2008, 08:38 PM
he's 150 tops...i would say he is a little smaller then early 08...for his frame size...it would take alot to keep that much muscle on(the amount he has on him is decent amount for his frame/build) maybe he is worried about the testing....hell...tiger got himself tested just to make sure his "amino acids" werent a problem.

people fluctuate weight according to their workout regimen . Could be the cool weather that promotes venous constriction. Augusta tends to be a little Humid and warmer during April. Camilio's thin to begin with , any cease of weight lifting will be noticed as opposed to a 250 lb linebacker built person who just seems to be big at all times even when ceasing to lift weights.
Tiger's the same way. He looks bigger on TV than in person. Now only if Duffy , and the rest of the size 40+ waists can get to the same misjudgement.

I've stood shoulder to shoulder with him and he is a tiny man. His arms looked a little larger for his size though and he was pretty cut. He does generate a lot of power with what he has. Really efficient!
