He's one of the world's greatest golfers, but there's plenty to distract you from his swing.

"I saw him at a tournament and he had on the yellow shoes and yellow belt and all the women seemed to be following him," said one male Masters guest.

"He's kind of flashy and attractive," screamed a female visitor.

Camilo Villegas is the consummate fashionista of the golf world. Fans say he has mastered the game of golf and the art of style. His personal style earned the golfer a spread in People Magazine in 2006 as one of the nation's most eligible bachelors.

Villegas is also famous for the unique way he heads his putt. The golfer twists his body into a pretzel like position, his abdomen just feet off of the green. It's earned him the title 'Spiderman'.

We could find few at the Augusta National bold enough to try the pose. And while some will pass on his name and even his style of dress, no one can deny the skill that makes him a master at his trade.

In five years, the Columbian born golfer has made $4.5 million in golf. This will be his second Masters Tournament.
