Tiger Woods’ former girlfriend raised questions about the non-disclosure agreement that the famed golfer wanted her to sign in 2017, expressing concerns she would lose control and become “heartbroken and jobless” in five to 10 years if she signed it, according to a court document filed this week in Florida.
That NDA is now the subject of a high-profile dispute in public court after his former girlfriend, Erica Herman, went through a messy breakup with Woods in October. She wants the NDA declared invalid by the court and has accused Woods of sexual harassment. She sent an e-mail to Chris Hubman, the chief financial officer for Woods’ company, two days before she apparently signed the disputed NDA on Aug. 9, 2017.
“My only concern is if by chance TW does something that brings our relationship to an end, do I automatically loose (sic) my job?” Herman asked. “I don’t have any problems with what’s in the document because I wouldn’t go public or use anything I know to hurt him or the kids but with my whole life in his hands now I would want to have some kind of control over my future in the business. If something happened 5-10 years down the road I don’t want to be in my 40’s heartbroken and jobless. Thoughts?”

“In my mind, your employment by The Woods Jupiter and your personal relationship with TW are two separate items,” wrote Hubman, the chief financial officer of Tiger Woods Ventures. “I don’t think the end of one automatically impacts the other … although I admit it could be complicated. It will most likely depend on the terms, condition or reason for the relationship ending. The NDA doesn’t address the terms of your TWJ employment … only the dissemination and control of information that you become privy to as a result of your personal and professional relationship with TW.”
“I understand,” she replied.
What is this about?
Herman has accused Woods of sexual harassment, arguing that he pursued a sexual relationship with her when she was his employee and then forced her to sign a non-disclosure agreement about it – or be fired from her job if she did not, according to a document filed by her attorney on Friday.
Herman previously sued a trust established by Woods for his residence in Florida,…
