This wasn’t all. Following the reports, Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident at his residential premise. While it remained a question why the accident took place, numerous reports suggested that Nordegren attacked Woods with a 3-iron club. However, as per the police records, Nordegren used the club to break the back window of the car to pull Woods out after the accident.
Going ahead, Parnevik said, “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,” he further added.
Following the incident, Woods took to his website, issuing an apology. Replicating the words of the police record, Woods also said, “The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious.”
