Tom Brady and Tiger Woods are known to be good friends. Unfortunately, when the NFL star was still married to Gisele Bündchen, she reportedly didn't get along with the golfer's girlfriend, Erica Herman – who sued Woods for $30 million. As a result, the former Victoria's Secret Angel allegedly cut the athletes' bromance.
Before that, Bündchen also "intimidated" Woods' "least problematic" ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, when they worked on a modeling campaign together. The stories resurfaced before the supermodel's pricey divorce from Brady was finalized in October 2022. Here's the truth about her relationship with the PGA champ's exes.

In June 2022, Essentially Sports revealed rumors that Bündchen and Herman didn't get along during a double date with Brady and Woods. As it turned out, the Brazilian model was "getting bored with Herman throughout the date as they didn't have common grounds for conversation." But the outlet also debunked the claims, saying it was all "pure speculation" but that "one thing is confirmed," Brady and Woods "are business partners after the latter signed the former's NFT company, Autograph.
The stories probably started with Bündchen and Brady's divorce and Herman's lawsuit against Woods. In March, TMZ obtained legal documents stating that Woods' ex-girlfriend – who has a law degree – was fighting to nullify her NDA and sue her ex for sexual harassment. Her attorneys claimed that the athlete "forced her to sign an NDA" in 2017 or else she would "be fired from her job."
Herman's team argued that Woods, "a boss imposing different work conditions on his employee because of their sexual relationship is sexual harassment."
The hospitality professional also accused Woods of kicking her out of their home. "The landlord made the availability of her housing conditional on her having sexual relationship with a co-tenant," her lawyers wrote in a court filing. "That conduct amounts to sexual harassment under federal and Florida fair housing laws." In November 2023, Herman eventually dropped the charges, saying she was "never a victim of sexual harassment or sexual abuse at the hands of Tiger Woods," despite her initial filing.
Erica Herman's lawsuit was filed against Tiger Woods' trust that owns his $54 million Florida mansion.

Bündchen also had an encounter with another ex of Woods'. In 2014, she worked with Vonn for an Under Armour campaign. In an interview with Elle, the Olympic ski racer said she was "intimidated" by the Chanel ambassador back then. "This morning on Good Morning America I was so intimidated," Vonn shared. "I told her: 'I don't really want to stand next to you; you are too pretty. Can you just stand over there?'" However, the Olympian said the model was "nice" about it.
"She is really nice," Vonn said of Bündchen. "I've met her a few times before, and she is just really down to earth."
Vonn even praised Bündchen for being a role model. "Gisele is a model but she also has kids and works out. She is just in general a strong person," said the former. "The campaign is more about the strong will of women and that comes in many different shapes and sizes." At that time, Vonn was already dating Woods while Bündchen was five years into her marriage to Brady.
Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods dated from 2013 to 2015.

Brady and Woods have been longtime fans of each other. In April 2019, the former roasted himself on Twitter to congratulate the latter on his 15th major victory at the Masters Tournament that year. "Running the numbers on how long it'll take me to get to 15…" the footballer wrote alongside that famous Zach Galifianakis calculating meme. "Congrats Tiger! What a performance.."
In 2020, the athletes played charity golf against each other at "The Match: Champions for Charity." Paired with Peyton Manning, Woods competed with Brady and Phil Mickelson. They raised $20 million meant to support coronavirus relief efforts. The following year, Woods attended Super Bowl LV to watch Brady win after just joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in early 2020.
The divorced sports stars' relationship has strictly been related to business, at least based on public sightings. It's one of the reasons rumors of Bündchen not liking Herman weren't believed by most fans of both the model and the athletes.
Tiger Woods paid $100 million in divorce settlement to Lindsey Vonn while Tom Brady had an ironclad prenup with Gisele Bündchen who has a higher net worth than him.
