Jesper Parnevik (born March 7, 1965 in Stockholm,
Sweden) is a professional golfer.

Parnevik's place in the pantheon of golf stars
stems from both his playing achievements and his
unusual taste in fashion.

His on-course trademark is the upturned bill on
his baseball cap. This became so much his
trademark that when he played on the European
Ryder Cup team, he received a customized team cap
with the Ryder Cup logo on the bottom of the bill
instead of the front, so that it could be seen
when he turned up the bill. His flamboyant fashion
sense, featuring disco-style purple pants and
other golf apparel designed by Johan Lindeberg,
has been politely described as "eclectic," and
he's been known to change outfits at the halfway
stage of a round of tournament golf.

He is also famous for eating volcanic dust as a
dietary supplement.

Parnevik turned professional in 1986 and scored
four wins in his early years on the PGA European
Tour|European Tour. Based in Florida, he joined
the PGA TOUR in the mid-90s, subsequently winning
five events. His playing career also includes
three Ryder Cup appearances - in 1997, 1999, and
2002.
