48 hours before scandal: Tiger Woods with daughter Sam and wife Elin Nordegren during an event in California on November 21. pic/afp </td></tr></tbody></table>Thomas Nordegren's popular Swedish radio talk show recently included the usual discussion of current events, anecdotes from his time as a foreign correspondent and an interview with former ABBA member Benny Andersson. Absent, as usual, was any mention of his famous daughter and son-in-law Elin Nordegren and Tiger Woods. While both of Nordegren's parents are celebrities in their own right in Sweden, they have managed to maintain a "business as usual" approach without facing anything like the horde of journalists and paparazzi chasing Woods or his wife back in Florida. Elin's mother, Barbro Holmberg, a well-known Swedish politician and former migration minister, did get thrown into the media spotlight when she was rushed to the hospital from Woods' house outside Orlando this month. But when she returned to work this week as county governor of Gavleborg in central Sweden, the focus was not on Woods but on a crisis involving the closing of an LM Ericsson plant in her region. Holmberg did find a Swedish tabloid journalist outside her house this week, but gave her standard answer "I don't talk to media about my private life." Thomas when asked by his listeners to comment on Woods' admitted infidelity, said: "I do, of course, have an opinion about both the Internet gossip and media's treatment. But now I view it as my biggest task to support my daughter and my grandchildren. So, to bring that up in my own program would be inappropriate and not in line with the programming rules. So enough about this." In a recent show, Thomas discussed issues ranging from Swedes' view on adopting the Euro currency to Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi and ABBA's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. When a guest brought up another celebrity marriage that has captivated Swedish tabloids latelyu00a0-- singer Paul Anka's Swedish wife, Anna, was forced to deny this week that the couple is getting a divorceu00a0-- Thomas quickly changed the subject. "Let's move on," he said.
