Villegas, a four-time winner on the PGA Tour,
confirmed last month that his daughter Mia had undergone surgery
after being diagnosed in early March and was being treated at
the Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami.
"The PGA Tour is deeply saddened having lost a member of our
family, Mia Villegas," Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a
statement on Monday. "We grieve with Camilo and Maria and our
thoughts and prayers are with the Villegas family."
Villegas, 38, has not played since the Korn Ferry Challenge at
TPC Sawgrass last month where he finished tied for 33rd.
