From Prodigy to Icon: The Story of Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods met Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2001 through golfer Jesper Parnevik, for whom she was working as a nanny. Initially, she wasn’t interested in dating a celebrity, but Tiger’s persistence won her over.

They began dating and got engaged in November 2003 during the Presidents Cup in South Africa. Their wedding was held in an extravagant ceremony on October 5, 2004, at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados. As Tiger’s wife, Elin quickly became a high-profile figure in the media.
