==Style== Parnevik is known for his distinctive and [[Eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] taste in clothes and fashion as well as his playing achievements, a fashion sense that led golf writer [[Dan Jenkins]] to describe him as "the last guy to climb out of the clown car at the circus".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.golftoday.co.uk/noticeboard/quotes/ryder_cup.html |title=Golf Quotes from Golf Today - the Ryder Cup |access-date=17 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405055705/http://www.golftoday.co.uk/noticeboard/quotes/ryder_cup.html |archive-date=5 April 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> His on-course trademark was the upturned bill on his baseball cap. While 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 with the bill turned up. He has since stopped wearing the flipped-bill hat, opting for strawhats and visors but retains a flamboyant sense of fashion, such as [[disco]]-style purple trousers and other golf apparel designed by [[Johan Lindeberg]]. He has been politely described as "eclectic", and has been known to change outfits at the halfway stage of a round of tournament golf. Beginning in 2006, one of his new on-course fashion statements was a necktie worn under a vest. Puma Golf signed Jesper Parnevik in 2014 and he gets credited for his influence on their LUX Golf Appearel Line. Since wearing Puma Clothes he once again wears a custom made and more modern looking flipped bill hat. He is also known to eat volcanic dust as a dietary supplement.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/volcanic-dust-puts-parnevik-on-different-planet-6148989.html |title=Volcanic dust puts Parnevik on different planet |newspaper=The Independent |first=James |last=Lawton |date=5 April 2005 |access-date=23 October 2013 |archive-date=13 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131213001542/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/volcanic-dust-puts-parnevik-on-different-planet-6148989.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Parnevik's nickname on tour is "Spaceman".
