Tiger Woods’ ex Erica Herman asks to nullify NDA over sexual assault clause
Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Erica Herman is seeking to nullify an NDA the golf superstar made her sign when they were still dating.
The entrepreneur, 39, cited two federal laws that allow NDAs to become null and void if sexual harassment and sexual assault claims arise, according to court documents obtained by Page Six on Wednesday.
The laws are the federal Ending Forced Arbitration Of Sexual Assault And Sexual Harassment Act Of 2021 and Speak Out Act.
Herman has not publicly accused Woods of sexual assault or harassment as of yet, but the golfer has openly admitted to struggles with sex addiction in the past.
The former couple’s first public sighting was at the President’s Cup in September 2017, one month after Herman signed Woods’ NDA.
Herman notes in the legal request, however, that she is unsure whether Woods’ NDA is “valid or enforceable,” so she is seeking clarity from the court.
She also wants to know whether — if the NDA can indeed be enforced — she still has a right to speak out on a bevy of issues, including her “own experiences,” the “experiences of her family members,” information learned by people “not covered” by the NDA and whether she can respond to statements Wood has “made or published about her.”

She added in the filing that she is “unsure whether she may disclose,” among other things, “facts giving rise to various legal claims she believes she has.”
“She is also currently unsure what other information about her own life she may discuss or with whom,” the document also states.
Herman did not specify which public statements or information she would like to address.
However, the pair were previously involved in a highly publicized car accident, which caused a fatality.
In May 2019, both Woods and Herman were hit with a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of Nicholas Immesberger, who died in a crash after drinking too much at the Woods Jupiter restaurant in Jupiter, Fla., which is owned by Woods and was managed by Herman.
The family argued, per court documents, that their son, who worked as a bartender, was “over-served” at the golfer’s establishment.
Woods was dismissed from the lawsuit in June 2019, and Herman as well later that year.
It is unclear when Herman and Woods called it quits, as their most recent sighting was a few weeks ago, per TMZ.
Herman is seeking a trial by jury on all issues that are “triable.”
The pro athlete was previously married to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010. They share son Charlie, 14, and daughter Sam, 15.
Reps for Woods and Herman’s attorney did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
