Parnevik: Woods not welcome

Stockholm - Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik says Tiger Woods is not welcome at his house - and he's not looking forward to seeing Woods on the golf course either.

It was Parnevik who introduced Woods to his Swedish wife, Elin Nordegren, a move he regretted publicly after reports emerged of Woods's marital infidelity.

Parnevik told Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet in an interview published on Saturday that Nordegren - who once worked as a nanny for his family - regularly visits him and his wife at their Florida home but "Tiger is not welcome here any longer."

Sidelined with back problems, Parnevik has said he hopes to return to the PGA Tour this year.

He says running into Woods on the golf course is "not something I'm looking forward to, but I won't hit him with a golf club."

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
