Tiger Woods has evidently also been having an affair with Jaimee Grubbs.

It was only a matter of time before Jeseper Parnevik said something on the situation with Tiger Woods affair, but I don’t think anyone thought he’d make such a strong statement. Parnevik is at the PGA Q-School this week at Bear Lake trying to get his tour card back and had this to say when asked:

“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.”

Oh Tiger! It turns out the rumors he once denied are apparently true. He released the following apology on his website:

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

It seems that Tiger Woods was indeed having an affair with Rachel Uchitel. What remains to be seen is what his sponsors will do about it. If we’ve learned anything it’s that sponsors won’t care about his transgressions unless the public does. He’s still the biggest name in golf, and I don’t see Nike walking away from that.
