Tiger Woods is one of the greatest golfers the game has ever seen. His many accomplishments on the course and what he’s done for the sport are well-documented and have always been celebrated. But on Thanksgiving night 2009, his private life made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
At the time, Tiger was still married to former Swedish model Elin Nordegren when she reportedly discovered that he had been cheating on her and chased him out of their mansion wielding a golf club. The athlete fled their home in his Cadillac Escalade and hit a fire hydrant before crashing into a tree. The rest of the world soon learned about the golfer’s infidelity and Tiger took a hiatus from golf for several months. He and Nordegren then went through a very public divorce, which was finalized in 2010.
During their marriage, they welcomed two children, Sam Alexis Woods and Charlie Axel Woods.

Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman, has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against the pro golfer as well as an appeal on a non-disclosure agreement she had signed.
The notice filed in Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal said she “was never a victim of sexual harassment or sexual abuse at the hands of Tiger Woods or any of his agents, and it’s her position that she never asserted a claim or such.”
Herman signed an NDA with Woods in 2017, but she later sued to be released from the agreement.
In May, a judge ruled that she could not be released from the NDA.
Circuit Judge Elizabeth Metzger wrote that Herman’s reasoning for being released from the agreement lacked factual specificity for any claim relating to sexual assault or sexual harassment.
Woods and Herman were together from 2017 to 2022. Herman was a former restaurant manager who worked at Woods restaurant,...

Tiger Woods‘s ex-girlfriend Erica Herman has dropped the $30 million lawsuit against him, in which she was seeking damages for the golfer allegedly evicting her from his house.
In the lawsuit against Woods and his trust, which was filed in October 2022, Herman claims that Woods stated that she was allowed to live in his home for five more years after their breakup. By evicting her, he was violating the terms of their oral agreement. He supposedly “tricked” her into moving out by telling her they were going on vacation and then when she arrived at the airport, she was locked out of the home.
Herman was asking for $30 million, which is the estimated worth of how much it would cost for her to rent a beachfront property like Woods’.
In November 2022, Woods’ trust filed a motion to dismiss Herman’s case, noting that because she signed a nondisclosure agreement she...

A Florida judge ruled that Tiger Wood’s ex-girlfriend, Erica Herman, must resolve her ongoing disputes with the golf superstar through private arbitration, abiding by a nondisclosure agreement Herman signed during their relationship.
Herman recently filed a lawsuit seeking $30 million from Woods in court over disputes about her right to live in his home and was attempting to invalidate a 2017 nondisclosure agreement, which broadly required disputes to be addressed privately through arbitration and out of the court system, by claiming that the golf player sexually harassed her.
Under a new federal regulation signed by President Joe Biden in December 2022, if an NDA is connected to sexual harassment, then the agreement can be declared void, allowing disputes to be heard in public court.
In documents filed last week, Herman alleges that Woods began a sexual relationship with her while she was still an employee at his restaurant in Jupiter, Florida, and...

Tiger Woods withdrew from the Masters before the resumption of the third round because of an injury Sunday, ending his streak of completing all 72 holes of every tournament he has played at Augusta National as a professional.
The tournament announced about 90 minutes before play began that Woods, who is still hobbled by the effects of the 2021 car accident that nearly cost him his right leg, had withdrawn. He’d limped through practice rounds early in the week and again during the first and second rounds, but the limp had become more pronounced as the weather worsened.
“I am disappointed to have to Wd this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis,” Woods said on Twitter. “Thank you to the fans and to (at)TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!”

Referring to Herman as a “jilted ex-girlfriend,” the filing argues that she does not have a right to invoke the Speak Out Act because he had not committed sexual wrongdoing.

Tiger Woods is denying he had an “oral tenancy agreement” with Erica Herman, saying that after “breaking off their relationship” he informed her “she was no longer welcome” in his house.
According to legal documents, obtained by Et, Woods’ trust this week responded to his ex-girlfriend’s claim that they had an “oral agreement” ensuring her she could live at his Florida mansion for a total of 11 years. In her legal filings, Herman claimed she still had five years remaining when they split up in October and, as such, is entitled to compensation of roughly $30 million.

Back in 2017, golfer Tiger Woods, 47, and restaurant owner Erica Herman, 38, began dating after Herman signed a non-disclosure agreement.
The two were first spotted as a couple when she joined him at the Presidents Cup in New Jersey and she continued supporting him at the course over the years.

At the beginning of March this year, Herman filed a lawsuit against Woods, asking to be removed from the NDA. She cited the Speak Out Act which allows NDAs to be nullified in cases of sexual assault or harassment in order to protect the victims.
However, since the NDA is still valid, Herman hasn’t made any accusations against Woods yet.
Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren but the two divorced in 2010 after Woods admitted to cheating several times.
Woods has been recovering from severe injuries sustained during a car crash.
