After their breakup, Tiger Woods put in a lot of work to repair his relationship with Elin Nordegren, which ultimately paid dividends in how Erica Herman fit into the picture. “Elin has a friendly relationship with Erica,” a source told People in 2021. “Tiger has come a long way and Elin acknowledges that. She is happy that he is dating Erica,” the source added. The ex-wife was not the only one who approves of Woods’ former girlfriend. “The kids like her,” the insider said. In fact, that was an important factor for both the golfer and his ex-wife, as they had prioritized co-parenting. There was a bonding experience between Herman and the family, as early on in her relationship with Woods, she went with him to the Bahamas along with his two kids and Nordegren.
While Herman and Nordegren were seemingly on good terms, Woods’ girlfriend had actually formed a bond his kids, too. “They love [Erica],” fellow golfer Arjun Atwal, who is also a good friend of Woods, told Page Six in 2019. “She’s more like a friend to them than anything else,” he added. Atwal spoke about how instrumental Herman had been in Woods’ path to recovery, as he regained his form among the world’s best golfers. “She’s been 100 percent supportive, when he was down with his health and all that stuff,” Atwal said of Herman. “She was right there for him.”
