Jesper Parnevik is suing golf clothier J. Lindberg for not paying for his use in the company’s marketing. The lawsuit seeks $1.3 million.
For years, Parnevik was the primary player on tour for J. Lindberg and at one point was a shareholder in the company. Stefan Engstrom with J. Lindberg said, “It is sad that it has been like this, but his contract was in 2008. It is not true that we have used him in our marketing. Jesper has been valuable for the company and built up the brand, but our primary name the last five years is a Colombian player Camilo Villegas.”
I have done absolutely no research on this subject, but I do vaguely recall having seen Parnevik’s face on some J. Lindberg material somewhere over the past year. More importantly…what ever happened to Parnevik? He was always one of my most favorite players to watcy, and roughly 10 years ago he was one of the most dominant players on tour!
