Not that anyone knew Woods’ and Herman’s nearly six-year relationship had even ended until the documents revealed a nasty battle has been brewing since October 2022.
Herman, who met the notoriously private athlete while working at his Jupiter, Florida, restaurant, alleged in her lawsuit that her former beau booted her from his home using “trickery.”
She claimed people working for him convinced her “to pack a suitcase for a short vacation, and when she arrived at the airport, they told her she had been locked out of her residence, in violation of the oral tenапсу agreement and in violation of Florida law,” according to the lawsuit.
After all, the pair both signed nondisclosure agreements with the golf great – Uchitel in 2009 and Hermаn іn 2017.
That document is now a legal bone of contention for Herman, who yesterday set off a firestorm when her lawyers sought to get hers tossed, citing a law that allows such NDAs to be voided if there’s proof of sexual assault or harassment.

Herman also alleged, according to the suit, that staff removed her personal things and took $40,000 in cash that belonged to her.
Said Curt Sampson, author of two books on Tiger Woods: “He probably said to [people who work for him], ‘Hey, I’ve got this problem, will you take care of it?’ So perfunctory, and heartless to me.”
(Woods’ longtime agent Mark Steinberg did not return messages seeking comment.)
Sampson, who penned 2019’s “Roaring Back: The Fall and Rise of Tiger Woods,” said Herman’s accusations echoed the coldness Woods embodied while breaking up with his high-school sweetheart.
When Woods met the 21-year-old Swedish bombshell at the 2001 British Open, he was golf’s golden boy a generational talent who transformed the game. She was working as a паппу for the family of Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, who introduced them.
Initially, Nordegren was reluctant to get involved with the athlete, according to her friend Sandra Sobieraj Westfall.
“She had her opinions about celebrities and they were not high. And she’s very shy, so the idea of joining that world was not appealing to her,” the Sobieraj Westfall said in the 2021 HBO documentary “Tiger.”
And when he asked her out, I think she turned him down at first,” Westfall recalled. “She gradually was convinced that she should give him a chance and so they did go out.”
They married in 2004 and had two children, Charli and Sam.
But mystery deepened on Thanksgiving of 2009 after Nordegri discovered that Woods was cheating on her with ex Las Vegas hostess Uchitel which changed their life permanently.
Woods’s career was at its best when a jealous Nordegren threatened him with a golf club, drove him out of the house and proceeded to break all the car windows with a golf club, before Woods drove the car into a tree.
This was a great blow for the golfer, who has been earning his money from golf and also had plenty more in endorsements. He had just clinched the green Jacket in the masters in Australia and in the same year documented himself shaking hands with former president Barack Obama at the White House.
That cheating revelation was only the string that was pulled to reveal the ugly truth about the perfect family man he was portraying.
Others came out with their hearts, and tabloids stated that Woods had slept with about 120 women while he was married.
One of them was Mindy Lawton, an employee of Perkins who claims to have had sexual encounter with Woods in his SUV.
The golfer and Nordegren officially separated in 2010-Warrren had paid $100 million to Nordegren and admitted to the rehab facility. He has since come out in the newspapers apologizing for putting her through such ordeal.
