I met them alot when working at Circle K in Åkersberga where they have a house and often comes to sweden for midsummer and christmas staying there. They are such down to earth people and genuinely nice people! Always cheerfull and fun to interact with! Nice to see a video about Jesper great work man!
I appreciate it! I watched a few clips of their reality TV series on YT (can't stream it outside of Sweden unfortunately), and they seemed very down-to-earth. Glad to hear some confirmation. Was the TV show as big of a hit as it was made out to be?
Jesper is a really odd type, but always seems nice. I have not met him personally but know people who have run into him from time to time. He is also friends with Bill Murray and there are countless stories about how he and Bill did things when drunk, for example driving a golf cart in the middle of central Stockholm because they quote "Was a fun thing to do"
Unfortunate that Jesper & his wife are connected to that low point in Tiger Woods career. But Jesper is a classy guy, and was 100% correct for calling out Tiger for being such a shit heel of a man at the time.
I just like how honest and straight Jesper is when he answers questions. Very refreshing to have a guy say what he thinks and not be scared of alienating people he believes are doing wrong - Tiger included.
His 2 other daugthers are named Peg & Penny. Peg is the swedish word for tee Penny is named after his green marker, since he always used a penny to mark his ball on the green
Saw on Jesper's social media that they had a very close relationship. Didn't know that he also played on the PGA Tour! Made more money caddying that playing.
75% sounds impressive til you realise that was all that was on. Every program at that time had 75% of the audience. Kinda joking but not really. We only had 2 channels at that time.
Interesting! I wonder, how did Bo Parnevik get that job? Based on watching interviews, I got the impression that he was a true professional - meticulous in preparation. Must have been good though if people stayed to watch.
Yeah, back in the late 70's you either watched one of the two TV channels or listened to one of the three radio stations. Not a lot of choice in digital entertainment lol
@@marcleongolf His first televised program was as a 19 year old at in 57 on new years. To my understanding it was sort of a variety show with an assortment of the known and unknown artists. After that he toured the "folkparker", which is the place in every small city where the people hung out to dance, watch local talent and listen to music. That's still how some bands get famous (we call them dancebands. Listen to Vikingarna if you want to hear more.). He did hundeds and hundreds of these shows and then got picked up on a show my Lennart Hyland. Lennart Hyland was like THE person. Like you Walter Kronkite or something. Once you got picked up there, every swedish person would instantly know you and eventually he got his own shows.
@@snerka I appreciate you taking the time to write this out - super interesting! Considering how long Bo worked in show business, I can now understand why he was so hesitant for Jesper to do "The Parneviks". An audience would be guaranteed because of him and his name, so he did not have the luxury of failing in silence. Spent the last hour listening to Vikingarna, and love the rhythm of it. A bit like German Schlager, but with the advantage of not understanding anything, so *tack för att du presenterade mig för dem*!
He introduced his kids’ nanny to tiger who later became tiger’s wife. Whether a couple’s marriage works or not is on them not other people. Tiger’s marriage failed because of his infidelity? That subsequently torpedoed a chunk of his prime. So to blame jasper for somehow destroying tiger’s career? 😂
While Jesper is definitively not to blame, there is no denying that he was involved. Who knows if Tiger would have done things differently if he had met the nanny of a different player - I doubt it though. The fact that it was Jesper was just bad luck.
@lmfgolf Tiger was banging anything and everything back then. It doesn't matter who he married. He was still going to be running around filling divots.
What took a chunk of Tiger's prime was his swing and injuries. Back in the ninties' there were no end to the comments about his (albeit successful) playing style.
I don't think Jesper has played on LIV. I believe you mean Henrik Stenson - a fellow Swede. But honestly, Jesper would be the kind of player LIV would chase - a bit eccentric, a crowd favourite, and a dang good player in his prime. In either case, you're right in stating that that decision wouldn't have (and has not for Henrik) gone over well in Sweden.

@@marcleongolf Pretty much...
A great character who was always worth watching for the quality of his golf as well as his wardrobe.
Definitely agree, shame I missed his playing days. I'm sure I missed some cool stories of him on tour.
This is interesting. some more of these would be cool.
Appreciate it Vincent! Already working on the script of the next one. Stay tuned.
Really great video man; never knew about this fine golfer!
Appreciate it mate! Glad you enjoyed it.
Cool video that deserves more traffic
Appreciate it Jeremy, already working on the next video!
For sure

Always blame the woman. You’d be right 100% of the time.
@@seadonkey6913 You must hold them in awe at the incel conventions ... me, I know you're a twerp.
Tiger's wife is golfs Yoko Ono, Tiger shouldnt have got married and just kept slamming a new chick in each city
@@seadonkey6913 I guess ur single. Wonder why? Serious, change u attitude man.

Peg is the swedish word for tee
Penny is named after his green marker, since he always used a penny to mark his ball on the green
Haha, that's amazing, thank you for sharing! Seems like something Mia and Jesper would do.
Tee is tee in swedish. Peg is the little twigg you put the golfball on when you drive
@@Berigan725 The thing you put the ball on when you drive is also called tee
@@tr0fast280 Fair point! I changed it.
Jesper is a very likeable guy 👏
He's caddie Lance Ten Broeck ( last call Lance) was a real wild man. He also played the tour.
Saw on Jesper's social media that they had a very close relationship. Didn't know that he also played on the PGA Tour! Made more money caddying that playing.
@@marcleongolf😳 JUST LIKE ME!!😮Coincidence??😂
The end of this video needs to have Steel Panthers, "Just like Tiger Woods," playing
This is my first time hearing this song - amazing. A fitting song for a Tiger edit.
I always assumed his father was much wealthier than him, so I am surprised money was such a constraint for him.
Good point! I read that his father owned a couple restaurants and movie theaters in Stockholm - maybe only had that kind of money later in life.

Not as popular back in Sweden after he sold himself out to the LIV tour.

Stenson. Not Parnevik.
haha, you were wrong, feel the shame!
Now this is embarassing. Imagine having no clue what you're talking about.
