Tiger Woods once billed pro $25,000 for spilling red wine in his private jet
Camilo Villegas may have just dropped the funniest story about how he landed himself $25,000 bill after spilling wine in Tiger Woods' private jet.
If you love the game of golf then chances are you are a sucker for a good Tiger Woods story.
There are just so many, but Camilo Villegas has an absolute corker. It involves red wine on Woods' private jet and a $25,000 bill.
Villegas, 40, recently joined GOLF's Subpar podcast where the Colombian spoke on a number of topics.

He knew that pretty much everyone that joins the show always shares a story about the big cat. And his one was absolutely epic.
Villegas was reportedly invited to a skins game in Thailand in 2008.
Apparently, this proved troublesome because of a burdensome schedule. He was playing an event the week before and after this skins game.
However, at the time Villegas was signed to IMG. Woods signed with IMG in 1996 and Mark Steinberg became his agent three years later.

IMG reportedly managed to wangle an offer of a lift to Thailand for Villegas aboard Woods' private jet.
As you can no doubt imagine, Woods had his jet kitted out to the height of absolute luxury.
Villegas accepted the offer. I mean, who wouldn't?! Villegas then found himself on the plane with Woods, his caddie Steve Williams and Steinberg.
He told GOLF:

When the plane took off, Villegas forgot about the glass of vino.
He said:
Villegas said that he saw Steinberg a few times after the nightmare and asked about the bill. Steinberg didn't say anything about it, only that the wine wasn't coming out.
Fast forward to a few months later at Sherwood Country Club and apparently Woods left an invoice in the Colombian's locker.
$25,000...

He said he told Woods he was having some problems with the payment.
Villegas said he told Woods:
Sensational.
