Lawyers for Woods’ ex-girlfriend said in her filing that $30 million was the “reasonable rental value" for the home over those next five years. The couple broke up in October 2022.She and the five-time Masters Tournament champion began dating after Herman worked as a manager at Wood’s restaurant. She entered a non-disclosure agreement at the beginning of their relationship — an agreement Herman had unsuccessfully fought to get out of in a separate legal battle in recent months.

Back at the home they shared, the trust that owned the home had then locked her out, “removed her personal belongings, and informed her she could not return,” filings show.
Her lawyers said that for “a short period of time,” Woods’ estate paid for a hotel room for Herman to stay.

Woods’ legal team had sought to move the dispute between the couple to a private arbitrator, claiming Herman’s complaints were “disputes directly between” her and Woods, rather than an issue with his estate.
Meanwhile, his lawyers slammed Herman as a “jilted ex-girlfriend” in a March filing amid their public fallout.
But in late June, Herman filed to dismiss her legal complaint against Woods’ estate, “pending” her appeal on a separate filing about “whether her claims” can be decided in a private arbitration between the former couple. The dismissal of the eviction lawsuit is still pending, court documents show. A hearing set for August in Herman’s illegal eviction lawsuit has been canceled.
