The move puts an end to the year-long battle between Herman and Woods, which started in October 2022 when Herman filed a complaint against Jupiter Island Irrevocable Homestead Trust—a trust that Woods controls—alleging that the entity violated the Florida Residential Landlord Tenant Act, with Herman seeking more than $30 million for damages suffered. She claimed, “by trickery, agents of the Defendant convinced the Plaintiff to pack a suitcase for a short vacation and, when she arrived at the airport, they told her she had been locked out of her residence.” That complaint was dropped in July.
Herman was the general manager at Woods’ restaurant, The Woods Jupiter, and was first publicly seen with Woods at the 2017 Presidents Cup. She alleged in court documents that when they began to have a personal relationship, Woods and his lawyers required her to sign the NDA and threatened to fire her if she didn’t sign.
Woods, 47, has not competed since the 2023 Masters as he continues to rehab following April surgery on his ankle.
