Tiger Woods won a courtroom fight with his ex-girlfriend Erica Herman, who seeks to invalidate their 2017 non-disclosure agreement so she can speak publicly about her relationship with the golf star that ended acrimoniously last October.
A Florida judge ruled Wednesday that Herman’s efforts to nullify the NDA must proceed behind closed doors in arbitration, not in the public eye in Martin County Circuit Court. Herman sued there in March, claiming the agreement is invalid under the Ending Forced Arbitration Of Sexual Assault And Sexual Harassment Act of 2021, known as the EFFA, and the Speak Out Act of 2022.
