Tiger Woods SPLITS with girlfriend Erica Herman who wants to take him to court
Erica Herman is taking golf legend Tiger Woods to court over an NDA she claims he made her sign, according to a TMZ Sports report.
Tiger Woods has reportedly split with Erica Herman, who now wants to take the golf legend to court in a bid to nullify a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) he made her sign at the beginning of their relationship, according to a report by TMZ Sports.
Woods, 47, and Herman, 39, had been together since the 2017 Presidents Cup.
But it now appears their relationship came to a bitter end at the end of 2022.
In court papers first acquired by TMZ Sports, Herman claims Woods is trying to "aggressively enforce" the NDA she signed when they entered a relationship in 2017.
The report claims Herman is citing a law that prohibits NDAs when there's evidence of sexual assault or harassment.
Herman does not allege assault or harassment, only that she is unsure whether she may disclose "facts giving rise to various legal claims she believes she has".
The TMZ report states:
The report adds:
According to a tweet posted by Law & Lumber (@LumberLaw), who is a lawyer and litigator, Herman has filed a Complaint for what amounts to wrongful eviction on 26 October 2022 after being locked out of her residence.
She then alleges her belongings were removed and how $40k in cash was stolen, before defamatory allegations were then made as to how she obtained such money.
Herman is alleging such acts necessitate an award of $30 million in actual and consequential damages.
Law & Lumber has tweeted the following:

Herman was last spotted in public with Woods at the US Open Tennis tournament in August 2022.
They had been watching Serena Williams.
Woods recently made his long-awaited return to the PGA Tour at the Genesis Invitational in February, but there was no sign of Herman with him during the week.

Woods and Herman were first pictured together at the 2017 Presidents Cup.
Herman was then seen by Woods' side when he won the 2018 Tour Championship and 2019 Masters, and she was also at St Andrews last year when Woods competed in the 150th Open Championship.
She was also publicly seen with Woods at the White House in May 2019 when he was handed the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former US President Donald Trump.
There had been multiple rumours flying around that Woods and Herman had split up back in 2019, but she told Radar Online that wasn't the case and that she just "didn’t like public attention."
Erica was also by Woods' side as he recovered from severe leg injuries sustained in his horror car crash in Los Angeles in February 2021.
She was also in attendance when Woods was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2022.
Woods' relationship with Herman was not his first since his divorce from Elin Nordegren.
They divorced in August 2010 after Woods admitted to multiple infidelities and he then completed a 45-day therapy program.
Woods then dated Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, now 38, in his first "public" relationship since that split.
The 15-time major champion dated Vonn - an alpine ski racer - for three years from 2013.
Dozens of other women have since claimed to have had relationships with Woods.
A report emerged in 2021 how Woods was spotted with a "hot blonde" while he recovered from injuries from his car crash.
Woods' attorneys also reportedly sued Rachel Uchitel for "breaking" an $8 million NDA in 2021.

The National Enquirer reported in 2021 how Woods wanted to remarry Nordegren.
It is understood Woods and Nordegren still share a close relationship as they do their best as parents to rising golf star Charlie Woods and Samantha Woods.
Woods has decided not to compete in this week's Players Championship at famed TPC Sawgrass as he looks to continue his rehab ahead of competing in the season's first major championship, The Masters, from April 6-9.
