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.

While Woods was “into her,” the twosome called it quits after Rimes’ father complained she was too young to date him, the insider added.

The pair tied the knot in 2004 and later welcomed daughter Sam and son Charlie in 2007 and 2009, respectively. News broke in 2009 that the golfer had a long-term mistress, Uchitel, and other women later came forward with claims they’d been intimate with Woods while he was married. Nordegren and Woods split in early 2010 and finalized their divorce in August of that year.

While Uchitel tried to shut down speculation that month by speaking with Woods’ then-wife, Nordegren, the Swedish model found evidence to prove the affair soon after they chatted. Uchitel exclusively told Us in January 2021 that she had a “love addiction” during her affair with Woods.
“I keep falling into traps of, you know, either [relationships] that are just maybe [the] wrong timing or people that are not the right people for me at the, at the right time,” she explained.

"Their friendship slowly turned into a relationship," an insider said at the time.

She was also there in February 2021 to support the star during his recovery following a single-car collision that left him with several leg injuries. News broke in March 2023 that the pair split after Herman filed court documents in an attempt to nullify the NDA that she signed when she first started dating the California native.
(The duo broke up in fall 2022, per the court documents.) Herman cited the Speak Out Act, which “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,” as her reason for seeking nullification in early 2023, according to documents obtained by Us . By July 2023, she dropped the suit claiming Woods had violated an oral tenancy agreement following their split.
Herman added she was never the victim of sexual harassment or abuse at the hands of Tiger or any of his agents, per a November 2023 report from CBS News .

People reported that the golfer had been “quietly dating” Vanessa for “several months,” while the Daily Mail reported that the pair, who both live in Florida and have kids who attend the same school, have been dating since Thanksgiving 2024.
