What went wrong?
Golf legend Tiger Woods and his girlfriend of nearly six years, Erica Herman, appear to have gone their separate ways in wake of bombshell legal documents filed by the restauranteur.
In the court papers, obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, Herman is seeking to nullify a non-disclosure agreement she alleges Woods made her sign at the beginning of their relationship, which she lists as August 2017.
She claims the NDA should not be enforced due to the Speak Out Act, which provides an exemption in scenarios where there is evidence of sexual assault or harassment.

Woods and Herman have yet to address the status of their relationship — and the 82-time PGA Tour winner has not acknowledged Herman’s legal filing.
The reported ex-couple has not been seen publicly together in months.
Herman did not appear to be in attendance at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational tournament in February — which marked Woods’ first time competing on the Tour since the Open Championship in 2022.
When Woods returned to Augusta for the 2022 Masters in April, Herman gushed over his efforts to return to the course.
