A few days ago, we told you how in 2001, golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife introduced their nanny, Elin Nordegren, to an up-and-coming young go-getter by the name of Tiger Woods. With all the revelations of late, seems Jesper isn't particularly happy with how Tiger has handled his marriage.

"I feel really sorry for Elin," he told The Golf Channel on Wednesday. "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. 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 the 3-iron."

Parnevik noted the privacy issue at the heart of the story, but understands that the rules are different for Tiger ... and not always in his favor: "It's a private thing, of course. 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." (Click here for edited video.) 

Parnevik clearly is personally wounded by Woods' "transgressions," so it's understandable that he'd tee off on Tiger. It's not likely we'll see other golfers criticize Woods openly; why would they? Most of Woods' fellow players, as noted here, have expressed support for Elin and her children, regret that Woods made poor choices, and hope that the Woods family will be able to get past this drama. Most have noted the microscope that all celebrities live under; left unsaid was the point that perhaps one ought to remember that microscope doesn't just focus on good behavior.

So far, Woods' sponsors have continued to express support, either explicitly or tacitly, and it's in that fashion that Woods will be able to continue to rehabilitate his image. No matter what happens next, it's likely that we won't be seeing ads that can be in any way mocked or misinterpreted, like Accenture's "The road to high performance isn't always paved" campaign.

that's terrible

Elin Woods is so much hotter then the trollops Tiger has driven. 

HE's not the first athlete to stray, and he won't be the last.

Tiger - Always keep your balls clean my brother.

This story bums me out so much. I always respected the man for being such a good guy. I could never cheat on my girlfriend. The thought of sleeping with her, looking into her eyes, loving her, just hours after sleeping with someone else, with the chick's juices still on my dick...ugh...gross.

I mean it's one thing to get around and have one night stands and short flings ya know? But if you can't manage to stay faithful in a relationship just bail.

the new Marvin Gaye?!?!

YOU are a VERY sweet guy and I wish more men thought like you do, and I agree 100%, if you cant or dont want to stay faithful to one person, than dont get married! But people never go into a marriage thinking ahead of time that they will be unfaithful, it just happens. After a while things change, people change, they get bored, take it for granted, treat each other badly, whatever. The trick is being content with what you got and TIGER is one of those guys who always wants more, strives for it, thinks he can do anything and pull it off. But he underestimated a women's scorn, and now it's payback time!

Tiger and Ronnie... pair of crazy Woods I'd say............

" Tiger and Ronnie... pair of crazy Woods I'd say ...... "


!!!!!!!

Paternity suits to follow.   He's put his wife in danger for any number of STDs with his selfish indulgences.  Tiger, Tiger not burning so bright...

I heard Tiger is releasing his own Christmas song. "I'm Dreaming of a White Mistress".
