Tiger Woods' on-course woes continued as he won only one hole during a charity skins tournament, with Camilo Villegas claiming the trophy in Bangkok.

Woods made the trip to his mother's home country of Thailand for the four-man charity World Golf Salutes King Bhumibol Skins Tournament - where players competed for a reward for each hole and prize money rolled over to the next hole in case of a tie.

Colombian Villegas was in red hot form, claiming five skins for $109,800 at the Amata Springs Club, while England's Paul Casey won nine skins for $92,400.

Woods, by contrast, struggled and earned only $6,600 for his sole skin. Immediately after the event the former world No. 1 left the country for Melbourne, where he will attempt to defend his Australian Masters title which begins on Thursday.

The $900,000 prize fund will be given to a charity foundation associated with Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
