Tiger Woods Refutes Ex Erica Herman's Oral Agreement Claims In Latest Court Filing

In her petition to void her NDA, Erica Herman stated, “There is therefore an active dispute between [Herman] and [Woods] for which [she] needs a clarifying declaration from the court,” according to Entertainment Tonight. We now know that Herman was referring to her $30 million suit against Tiger Woods for not allowing her to live in his residence. However, Woods has since denied Herman’s claims. “Mr. Woods invited Ms. Herman to live with him as his guest in the Residence,” read Woods’ court documents, per Entertainment Tonight. “Mr. Woods never negotiated an oral tenancy agreement with Ms. Herman. Nor was there ever a written tenancy agreement between Mr. Woods or the Trust.” The documents go on to state that Woods broke up with Herman in October, then set her up “to stay at a local luxury resort” and provided her funds to secure new housing. 

Woods’ representatives also claimed Herman’s legal strategy of suing his trust “is nothing more than a transparent attempt by Ms. Herman to avoid her contractual obligation to arbitrate and to gain leverage by litigating her disputes with Mr. Woods in a public forum.” In any case, Woods is no stranger to high-profile breakups. Most notably among them was his divorce from his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, which consisted of cheating allegations, court battles, and a $750 million settlement in favor of Nordegren.
