ERICA HERMAN is allegedly suing ex Tiger Woods “for $30m” after claiming that he “tricked” and kicked her out of the Hobe Sound mansion where they lived.
We reported how the American has split from his girlfriend and is now embroiled in a bitter legal row.

She has filed a lawsuit claiming $30m damages after being ‘tricked’ out of their mansion
Herman, 39, has filed a lawsuit against the golfing icon in an attempt to nullify a non-disclosure agreement she alleges Woods, 47, made her sign at the start of their relationship.
Herman claims the NDA should be voided when there is evidence of assault or harassment.
TMZ reported a private trust run by the golfer is trying to “aggressively enforce” the NDA following the end of their relationship.
Now the Daily Mail claims that Herman “filed a separate case against his trust in October” which alleges that “he kicked her out of their shared home”.
And they state that she is seeking $30m for the emotional damages.
In court papers obtained by the publication, she alleges that agents working for Woods had persuaded her to leave their $48m home to go on a short holiday.
However, when she got to the airport, they then informed her that she was locked out of the property.
Herman claims that Woods’ representatives removed $40,000 of her money and made “scurrilous and defamatory allegations” about how she had got it in the first place.
She is demanding over $30m for the claimed “breaches of duty” that she says has left her suffering “severe” emotional damages.
Herman says that she should have been allowed to live in the home in Hobe Sound, Florida, for another five years.
But she alleges Woods used “trickery” after breaking up with her in October.
Herman sued Tiger’s trust, the Jupiter Island Irrevocable Homestead Trust.
The trust is the legal owner of the mansion in Hobe Sound where the pair lived together for six years.
She says that she provided “valuable services” at Woods’ requests as part of an “oral tenancy agreement” which she says gave her the right to live in the property for a “certain duration of time.”
The lawsuit has been filed as a trust litigation and states: “All expenses that related to (Herman’s) residency were fully paid by the defendant or its privies.
“This agreement was fully performed for the six-year period prior to the events giving rise to this lawsuit.
“The duties that were performed by the plaintiff were extensive and of an extraordinary nature in light of the overall circumstances and environment in which she lived.”

The couple were together for six years and were last seen at the US Open tennis in August 2022
Herman says that there were still five years left on the oral agreement for her to live at the property when Woods engaged in “prohibited practices”.
The pair have not been seen together in public since the US Open tennis in August 2022.
That includes Woods’ most-recent PGA Tour appearance at the Genesis Invitational two weeks ago, where he finished T45 – but made headlines for handing Justin Thomas a tampon and then hit a ball into a spectator’s jacket pocket.
Herman, though, was alongside Woods at the 2019 Masters, the sight of arguably the greatest of his 15 major golf victories, as well as his historic 80th PGA Tour win at East Lake, Georgia the previous year.
The pair were first pictured cosying up on the course at the Presidents Cup.
Erica – who managed his pop-up restaurant titled The Woods – was wearing a “player spouse” badge usually reserved for wives and girlfriends.
And they went officially public a month later in November 2017.
She was once harshly branded a “gold digger” who “chased Tiger like a puppy” but was later credited with saving the golf legend’s life.

Woods has been hit with legal papers
They remained together following Woods’ horrific car crash that broke his leg and threatened to end his ability to walk, let alone return to the golf course.
Woods married Elin Nordegren in 2004 but they divorced in 2010 following his infidelity.
He has had many lovers since, including pornstars and nightclub hostesses.
In August 2017, the former world No1 announced he was splitting up with girlfriend Kristin Smith.
The Dallas-based personal stylist had thought the golfer was cheating on her and had broken down crying after his DUI arrest in the spring, reported Radar Online.
Since then he has been linked to fitness model Laci Kay Somers following reports in the US that the pair had partied together.
Woods also dated Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.

How To
How to lower your golf scores in five easy steps
- Start by getting the right equipment. You’re going to want to invest in some good clubs and balls. Learn how to golf from a professional. If you don’t know anyone who plays, then ask around at the local driving range. Some instructors might give you a free lesson because they love seeing new faces.
- Practice makes perfect. This is a well-known fact, but practice is essential if you want to improve your game. Practice is important, no matter if you play alone or with your friends. And when you do start practicing, make sure you keep track of your progress. Note everything that you do in order to track your progress.
- Play more often. At first, you might feel that you spend too much on your golf gear. This will make it difficult to get out there enough. You’ll soon find you enjoy the game and you’ll be able to get back into your routine. So the next step is to increase your frequency of play. Play three times per week or every other day. This means that you should play one round of 18 holes on the weekend and two rounds 9 holes during week.
- Make sure you eat well. Many people think eating well after lunch is better than breakfast. This is not healthy. Try to eat something before leaving the house. Ideally, you’d want to eat a small snack containing protein, carbohydrates, and fat. When you arrive at the course you can have a light dinner of lean protein and vegetables.
- Hydration is key. Drinking lots water can prevent dehydration from leading to muscle aches and headaches. Additionally, water helps to keep your body hydrated which is essential for peak performance.
