Tiger Woods Engaged to Swedish Girlfriend
Sat Nov 29, 1:43 AM ET


JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Tiger Woods and his Swedish girlfriend, Elin Nordegren, are engaged.

The golfer's agent, Mark Steinberg of IMG, confirmed the couple's engagement to The Associated Press on Friday but declined to give details.


"She called this morning and was incredibly happy," Nordegren's father, Thomas, told the Swedish newspaper Expressen. "I only spoke shortly with them on the telephone but they were happy and I congratulated them."


Thomas Nordegren, a correspondent for Swedish Radio in Washington, could not immediately be reached for comment by the AP.


Ashley Cocks, a spokesman for the Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa, said in a statement that Woods proposed to Nordegren while at the game park outside Port Elizabeth. Woods had been in Fancourt, South Africa, for the Presidents Cup, which ended Sunday.


The proposal came during a walk at sunset Tuesday, he said, adding that when the couple left Friday aboard a private jet, Nordegren had a "huge diamond on her finger."


Nordegren's mother, Barbro Holmberg, who is Sweden's migration minister, had no comment.


Woods, 27, and Nordegren, a 23-year-old model, have been dating for nearly two years.


The South African Broadcasting Corp. also reported the engagement, saying the couple spent the night under the stars in sleeping bags and prepared their own food.


Woods and his entourage later left Port Elizabeth via Barbados to the United States, SABC reported.


Expressen said the date and location of the wedding were not disclosed, but that it was likely to take place in Sweden.


Woods' caddie, Steve Williams of New Zealand, got engaged the weekend before the President's Cup.

As many as he wants. In fact he'd get paid to use them.

I think we should challenge him to a golf tournament that includes camping out in between rounds. Sure, any wuss can stay in a comfortable, fancy hotel and go out and shoot a 67 - what if you had to haul a bunch of gear to the course, set up your tent, cook your own food, and sleep there every night?!

Bowlderman - There's not a touch of jealousy in there anywhere, is there?

I think she has a twin sister (Josephin), in case anyone is interested. For Tiger that could be cool. He can afford a spare. As backpackers we know how important that can be. He may be more of a gearhead than we think!

WOW.

I don't know about Bowlderman, but I'm definitely jealous.

Tiger is my new hero, and I don't even play golf.

Wow, she has a twin. I wonder if she dates anyone who makes less than 3 million a year?

For all you guys you don't actually need the money. There is a company that prints up false ATM receipts that show you have millions. Just accidently drop that baby and your in (if she is that shallow!)

Tango - I hate it when people leave their ATM slips behind that show big savings accounts. I know they do it on purpose.

These girls are worth millions already.

Yeah, and they could pay off my student loans. That's why I want to date them.
