Golf legend Tiger Woods, a name synonymous with extraordinary talent and a history of personal life scrutiny, continues to captivate the public both on and off the green. As one of the most decorated golfers in the history of the sport, Woods’ personal endeavors, particularly his romantic relationships, have often been the fodder for tabloid headlines and fan curiosity alike. In this post, we reveal updates on his love life, plus how being in relationships has impacted his career.

Current Relationship Status

In 2024, Tiger Woods is currently single. He has not dated anyone in recent times, and he's still single and focused on his career as a golfer. "There's no one in particular," he said of romantic relationships. And that is in stark contrast to his well-documented breakup with Erica Herman towards the end of 2022.

The Breakup with Erica Herman

Woods' most current partner was Erica Herman, who has actually been the general supervisor of his restaurant, The Woods, in Jupiter, Florida. The two started appearing together at different PGA Tour events in 2017, around the time that they began dating. Instead, their romance turned sour, and they ended up parting ways in a public split. Their split was muddied by a $30 million lawsuit Herman filed against Woods in October 2022.

Herman finally dismissed her lawsuit against him a full year later when she admitted that neither Woods nor his representatives had ever sexually harassed or assaulted her. It was an important revelation because it indicated the complexities of their relationship as well as at least some of the harsh legalities associated with air out following a separation. Woods and Herman's breakup reportedly dramatically took place.

Tiger Woods' Dating History

Elin Nordegren

Woods was also previously married to former Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2004, but they divorced after a highly publicized breakup following his infidelity. She is the mother of two daughters, Sam and Charlie. His infidelity became public in 2009, and the couple divorced. Woods and Nordegren have seemingly been on good terms since the collapse of their marriage, with sources suggesting they are now 'cordial' to do what's best for the children.

Lindsey Vonn

Woods dated Olympian skier Lindsey Vonn from 2013 to 2015. The two supported each other during Woods' long recovery from injuries. Vonn has since praised Woods following their relationship, supporting his return to health and form and the struggles of dating in the public eye.

Kristin Smith

After a fling with Vonn, Woods started dating stylist Kristin Smith. The duo would not last. The hard details of their brief romance remain refreshingly private for all his lovers.

Erica Herman

The longevity of Woods' relationship with Erica Herman was nothing compared to the interest it received from the public. Herman was around throughout last year when Woods staged his comeback to golf following a serious car accident in 2021. Woods' affair is blamed for his subsequent ex-communication from the game and the breakup of what many had perceived as a fairly stabilizing, if not restraining relationship.

Personal Life Affecting Professional Career

Woods has remained resilient, as he illustrated spectacularly by winning the Masters Tournament this past April, his first major championship after 10-plus years. It was not simply an individual win but proved he could conquer adversities. During his recovery from injury and personal heartaches, Herman appeared to be a touchstone of continuity in relationships he did not enjoy otherwise.

Currently, Tiger Woods is single, and he wants to give full attention to his career in golf. There is no official confirmation about a dating partner. If Woods continues in his top form over the coming tournaments, you can bet fans and followers will be watching both how he is playing and if there have been any developments with the ladies.
