Golf pro Tiger Woods is set to wed his 23-year-old Swedish girlfriend, Elin Nordegren, his agent has confirmed.
After numerous reports that Tiger had become engaged, Mark Steinberg of IMG came forward on Friday to acknowledge the star athlete had popped the question to his girlfriend of two years.
Tiger apparently asked the 23-year-old model to marry him last week during a sunset walk at game park in South Africa, where he was playing in the Presidents Cup. A spokesperson for the game reserve said that when the two boarded a private jet to leave, the young blonde had a "huge diamond on her finger".
The bride-to-be promptly broke the good news to her family. "She called… and was incredibly happy," Elin'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."
According to reports, the nuptials will likely take place in Sweden, but no details have been confirmed.
