Now that Tiger Woods has admitted to “transgressions” in a statement released on his website (www.tigerwoods.com), he’s opened himself up to criticism for his infidelity.  First up–Jesper Parnevik.  Truth be told, Parnevik has a bit of a vested interest in the whole situation, seeing that he and his wife were responsible for setting up Elin Nordegren with Tiger.  It’s been so long that it’s easy to forget that at one time Nordegren was working as a nanny for the Parneviks.  It was at the 2001 British Open that Nordegren was first introduced to Woods.  They married in 2004.

With all the buzz surrounding Tiger Woods’ ‘bizarre’ car accident, we sometimes forget that there’s still golf being played in the world.  But not too worry, yours truly will keep you in the loop.  At the World Cup of Golf, the dynamic duo of Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell of Ireland are still ahead of the pack, but by the slimmest of margins.  While McIlroy and McDowell were carding an 8-under 64 in the fourball format, the Italian brother combo of Edoardo and Francesco Molinari shot an 11-under 61 to gain three strokes on the Irish lads, while defending champion Sweden’s team of Robert Karlsson and Henrik Stenson went around in 62, to tie for second with the Italians.
