Golfer Tiger Woods, who was in a serious car accident on February 23, 2021, does have a girlfriend. He is dating Erica Herman.
According to a January 2021, article in People Magazine, the pair’s relationship was going strong. In fact, according to People, Woods and Herman were living together in his Jupiter, Florida, mansion, and his children, Charlie 11, and Sam, 13, were supportive of the relationship.
“The kids like her,” a source told People, which added that they have been dating for almost four years.
Woods was previously married to wife Elin Nordegren, but the marriage imploded amidst serial cheating allegations. He previously dated Olympic skiier Lindsey Vonn.
Woods was in a significant traffic crash in California. He was in serious condition when authorities arrived, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will be holding a press conference at 3 p.m. west coast time to provide additional details on the crash. There has been no additional condition update given since that time because Woods is in surgery.
