Jesper Parnevik on Tiger Woods' Scandal: Trash Talk That Could Change Golf
Jesper Parnevik (or Jasper Parnavick, as his name is being spelled around the Web today) is suddenly relevant again.
The Swedish golfer is remembered much more for his Woody-Harrelson-In-White-Men-Can't-Jump Hats than anything he's won on the PGA Tour.
But after some biting words toward Tiger, including jabs at the No. 1 golfer's biggest sponsor, his manhood, and his overall brain power, Parnevik is back at the forefront of golf talk.
"I would be especially sad about it since I'm kind of -- I really feel sorry for Elin -- since me and my wife were at fault for hooking her up with him," Parnevik told ESPN on Tuesday.
"We probably thought he was a better guy than he is. I would probably need to apologize to her and hope she uses a driver next time instead of a 3-iron....But when you are the guy he is, the world's best athlete, you should think more before you do stuff ... And maybe not just do it, like Nike says."
And just like that, Parnevik is a household name.
We've seen Phil Mickelson question Tiger's clubs, and then watched Woods defeat Phil time and time again.
We've heard Rory Sabbatini challenge Tiger, only to watch Woods obliterate the South African trash talker in the golf course.
And now we have Parnevik going after Woods, and it's personal.
It'll be interesting to see if this is a one-time thing, or if other golfers follow suit. Time and time again, Tiger's delivered the knockout punch to various golfers, but now Woods is down, and everyone knows it.
Is Parnevik all alone, or is the first of many to go after Woods?
