Jesper Parnevik, a golfer from Sweden who introduced Tiger Woods to Elin Nordegren, is reportedly sorry for hooking the two up. Parnevik introduced Woods and Nordegren during the 2001 British Open when Nordegren was working as his au pair, a domestic assistant living as part of a host family. Woods and Nordegren became engaged in 2003 and officially married one year later in 2004. Parnevik said he felt that he owned Nordegren an apology.

"I would be especially sad about it – 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 apologise to her."

He added: '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.'

Parnevik's comments follow the release of an apology statement on Tiger Woods's website in which Tiger apologizes for his "transgressions" and "personal sins." Three women came out alleging they had an affair with Woods ever since his car accident on November 27. One of the women - Jaimee Grubbs had a tangible "proof" of her relationship with Woods. She released a voicemail message that Tiger left for her, asking Grubbs to change the name on her phone because his wife "went through [his] phone and might be calling [her]."

Run Elin, Run!!! Get a great divorce attorney and get out of that mess. You are a beautiful Swedish model who will not have much difficulty moving on with your life. Drop the kaffir at the curb, take the cash, and catch a flight to Stockholm. He has been cheating on your for at least 50% of the time that you were married to him. It's a no-brainer. Good luck Elin and best wishes. Tiger. You're weak and pathetic. Married to a phenomenal girl (Swedish Model) and you cheat on her with trailer trash? You need more than marriage counseling.

Just goes to show you -- having a talent and more $$ than you can spend -- people like Woods can be first-class jerks. I'm sure his wife will never trust him anymore -- will always wonder when he's away on tournaments for many days -- who's he sleeping with this time? And what's this trash "world's best athlete," he's a golfer with a couple of outstanding features -- certainly doesn't compare with athletes in football, baseball, basketball, etc -- who have talent and physical attributes that make golfers look like former couch potatoes!

The NY Daily News published even more of Jesper's remarks. BTW, Jesper has been an excellent golfer on the U.S. PGA tour, and as a player also for Europe in the Ryder Cup. Catch this quote from the NY Daily News, "Parnevik added that next time [Elin] Nordegren should use "a driver rather than a 3-iron"! It may be gossip but it is funny!

Well, I'm sure its not that easy to leave when you have 2 children in the mix, sounds just like a woman, take his money and run. Who's to say she didn't have her own affairs? Tiger is a human being, I would say 99.9% of men with his fame, fortune, and power, would probably have a pretty hard time keeping it in their pants with beautiful women throwing themselves at them the way they do. Tiger is not 100% to blame, I blame women, they see a guy with some cash and they spread the gash like whores. You're probably jealous you aren't on the list of women. And as far as calling the girls trailer trash, I don't know where that is coming from, every single one that has come out has been smoking hot!!!, Much hotter than yourself I am willing to wager

Excuse me, I thought you were a woman. I just noticed your name is Johan. Sure Johan, Im sure Elin will read your comment, get divorced, get about 500 million, and throw herself into your arms because you are such a sweet caring guy, and would take really good care of her. Get real buddy,
