Florida: Professional golfer and 15-times Major Champion Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Erica Herman has accused him of sexual harassment, according to the court filing by Herman’s attorney.
According to the document disclosed by CNN, Woods has been accused of pursuing a sexual relationship with Erica while she worked for him and forcing her to sign a non-disclosure agreement or she’d be fired from her job.
At that time she was working as an employee at Wood’s South Florida restaurant, The Woods Jupiter.
The court document said “Tiger Woods, the internationally renowned athlete and one of the most powerful figures in global sports, decided to pursue a sexual relationship with his employee, then – according to him – forced her to sign an NDA about it or else be fired from her job,”.
The document further added “And, when he became disgruntled with their sexual relationship, he tricked her into leaving her home, locked her out, took her cash, pets, and personal possessions, and tried to strong-arm her into signing a different NDA.”
Herman’s attorney Benjamin Hobas states in the filing as quoted by CNN said “A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment,”.
Erica and Woods have been in an ongoing legal battle for several months. In October 2022, she filed a lawsuit against a trust set up for his residence. Erica said that she had a verbal agreement to live at the estate for five years but she was kicked and locked out of the home.
The document alleges this “scheme” which was used against her last year. Woods had asked her to pack for a weekend getaway to the Bahamas. She was allegedly driven to the airport and then she was asked to speak to Woods’ attorney.
In his decorated career, Woods has broken numerous records and redefined the standards of golf. He has 15 major titles and 82 PGA Tour victories registered in his name, which is the most by any golf player so far.
Along with these accolades, Woods has won a total of 18 World Golf Championships in his career. Woods currently holds the record for holding the world No. 1 rank for 683 weeks. The next golf player who is closest to his record is Australian entrepreneur Greg Norman, who held the top ranking for 331 weeks.
