Tiger Woods and Erica Herman’s Split Revealed as She Files to Nullify NDA
On Wednesday, March 8, Us Weekly obtained court papers filed by Herman to void the non-disclosure agreement that Woods made her sign when they began dating in 2017.

“Due to the Defendant’s aggressive enforcement of the Woods NDA and control over the trust, the Plaintiff is uncertain about disclosing facts related to potential legal claims she believes she has,” the documents stated.

“She is also unsure about what personal information she can share and with whom.

This has led to a disagreement between the Plaintiff and the Defendant, prompting the Plaintiff to seek clarity from the court through a declaratory judgment.”

She cited the Speak Out Act — which “prohibits the judicial enforceability of a nondisclosure clause or nondisparagement clause agreed to before a dispute arises involving sexual assault or sexual harassment in violation of federal, tribal, or state law,” per Congress.

Woods and Herman have yet to publicly comment on their apparent breakup, but she was noticeably missing at his recent golf outings. One year ago, she was present to watch the golfer return to the Masters after he suffered severe leg injuries in a single-car collision in February 2021.

“It’s miraculous. It shouldn’t be happening,” she told Golf.com at the tournament in April 2022. “I mean, nothing ever surprises me about him. But he’d just worked so hard to be here, that was the one thing I knew: once he got here, he wasn’t going to go home.”

Sources told Us Weekly at the time of the incident that Herman was a support system for Woods.

“Erica dropped everything to be with Tiger the moment she heard what happened,” the insider said. “She’s been by his bedside, holding his hand and telling him everything’s going to be OK. He’s a champ and he’s got this. She’s been so compassionate and supportive — all his friends and family have. He couldn’t have asked for more in that regard.”

Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren, with whom he shares a daughter, Sam, 15, and son, Charlie, 14. In March 2022, Herman and his two kids were on hand when the athlete was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

“I know that golf is an individual sport. We do things on our own [for] a lot for hours on end, but in my case, I didn’t get here alone,” he said in his speech. “I had unbelievable parents, mentors, friends, who allowed me and supported me in the toughest times, the darkest of times, and celebrated the highest of times.”

Woods and Nordegren’s divorce was finalized in 2010 after he was caught cheating on her with several women. Amid the controversy, he sought treatment for sex addiction.

“In looking back, I would not change how 2009 unfolded.

Instead, I would focus on having a more open and honest relationship with my ex-wife,” Woods said in an interview with Time in 2016. “Ultimately, what I regret is not having been more open and honest with my ex-wife during our marriage.

If we had communicated better and shared our frustrations, things might have been different. Now that we have established a more open and honest dynamic, it has been a positive change.” In December 2020, Nordegren and Herman supported Woods and Charlie together at the PNC Tournament.

“Tiger and Elin have both prioritized protecting their kids and their privacy amidst their separation, recognizing the potential impact on them,”

Notah Begay III, a Golf Channel analyst and friend of Woods, stated during a broadcast. “Tiger addressed this in his comments after a round, ensuring he handles media requests and ensuring that Sam and Charlie have a normal childhood.”
