Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend, Erika Herman, has filed two lawsuits against parties representing the 15-time major champion. Herman is seeking $30 million in damages due to a domestic dispute, as well as the termination of a non-disclosure agreement she signed when their relationship began in 2017.
Woods, 47, broke up with Herman, 38, and allegedly kicked her out of his home last year. according to USA Todaywhich reviewed court records for the first lawsuit filed in October 2022. In addition to the financial damage she seeks, Herman accuses Woods estate agents of misappropriating $40,000 of her own money.

The law, enacted by Congress on December 7, 2022 and passed as a result of a vote for the #MeToo movement, prevents NDA from being enforced in cases of sexual assault and harassment.
According to the report, no specific claims are made against Woods in the course of the lawsuit. some reports. However, Herman cited attempts by the Woods-controlled trust to enforce a non-disclosure agreement she signed over five years ago to keep their long-term relationship confidential.
Woods’ trust went to arbitration over the NDA.
