Tiger Woods allegedly forced his ex-girlfriend to sign a non-disclosure agreement regarding their sexual relationship.

This comes as Erica Herman sues the Major champion for $30 million.

Tiger Woods with more dirty laundry

Woods forced Herman to sign the document, or he would fire her from his restaurant.

In his court filing, Herman’s attorney, Benjamin Hodas, wrote, “Mr Tiger Woods was Ms Herman’s boss. In Mr Woods’s portrayal of events, he imposed an NDA on her as a condition to keep her job when she began having a sexual relationship with him. A boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment.”

Tiger Woods will almost certainly spend the rest of the 2023 Major Golf season on the sidelines after more surgery.

He had an operation in New York to correct an arthritis issue from a previous ankle fracture.

Early reports suggest he can’t play for at least six months.

“Earlier today, Tiger underwent a subtalar fusion procedure to address his post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture,” said a statement on Woods’ social media channels.

“It was performed by Dr Martin O’Malley at HSS Sports Medicine Institute in New York. He has determined the surgery to be successful. Tiger is recovering and looks forward to beginning his rehabilitation.”

Tiger Woods has barely played since hurting his leg in a car accident in Los Angeles in February 2021.

He cut the Masters earlier this month but withdrew, needing to play 29 holes in the cold, wet and windy conditions on the final day.
