Tiger Woods’ Dating History: Marriage, Mistresses, More

Tiger Woods has had his fair share of ups and downs while searching for The One — including multiple cheating scandals.

Woods burst onto the golf scene at a young age and by 20 years old he had turned professional. One year later, in 1997, he became one of the greatest athletes the sport had ever seen when he won the Masters by 12 strokes. His love life seemingly followed the successful pattern when he met Elin Nordegren in 2001 through fellow golfer Jesper Parnevik, whom she was nannying for at the time.

Two years after they first crossed paths, Woods popped the question, and in October 2004, the couple said “I do.” Their daughter, Sam, was born in June 2007 and was followed by son Charlie in February 2009.

That same year, Woods and Nordegren’s relationship took a step back when news broke that he had been unfaithful. Rachel Uchitel was outed as Woods’ longtime mistress in November 2009. The athlete checked into rehab later that year for sex addiction after more than 10 women came forward with stories of alleged affairs and hookups involving Woods.

Nordegren initially stayed by her then-husband’s side as he sought medical help, but in early 2010, they officially separated. Woods eventually overcame the scandal and moved on romantically with skier Lindsay Vonn and later Erica Herman.

News broke in March 2023 that Woods and Herman had called it quits when the Florida native attempted to nullify her non-disclosure agreement with the golf legend, citing the Speak Out Act as her reason for filing. The Speak Out Act allows for NDAs to be nullified due to sexual assault or harassment. She later dropped the action and stated she was never the victim of sexual harassment or abuse at the hands of Tiger or any of his agents.
