Rachel Uchitel was at the center of Woods’ cheating scandal in 2009, and, more recently, spoke about the affair in the 2021 HBO documentary, “Tiger.”

“I really took the opportunity to be able to clear up any misconceptions that people had about … who I am and the situation because people use me as sort of a brand for … the other woman,” Uchitel said in an interview with Page Six.

Following Woods’ cheating scandal, the golfer found love again with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. The couple, who confirmed their relationship in 2013, dated for nearly three years.

“I will always cherish the memories that we’ve created together. Unfortunately, we both lead incredibly hectic lives that force us to spend a majority of our time apart,” Vonn posted to social media in May 2015.

First linked in 2017, Woods has been dating Erica Herman for over three years. She has joined Woods at golf tournaments, including the 2018 Tour Championship, where he sealed the victory with a kiss from Herman.

In December 2020, Herman joined Nordegren to watch Woods and his young son participate in the PNC Championship.

TMZ reported in March 2023 that Herman was taking Woods to court in hopes of nullifying a non-disclosure agreement the golfer allegedly made her sign in the early days of their six-year romance.

She claims the NDA should not be imposed in light of the Speak Out Act, which, according to Congress, “Prohibits the judicial enforceability of a nondisclosure clause or nondisparagement clause agreed to before a dispute arises involving sexual assault or sexual harassment in violation of federal, tribal, or state law.”

Herman and Woods were most recently photographed at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in August 2022.
