Tiger Woods’ dating history: His marriage, girlfriends and mistresses through the years

Tiger Woods’ love life has not been a hole in one.

The professional golfer has made headlines for many relationship woes over the years, starting with his infamous cheating scandal while married to Elin Nordegren.

He has also fought with subsequent exes over nondisclosure agreements.

Since his 2010 divorce, Woods has been linked to Vanessa Trump and more women.

He is a father of two, sharing daughter Sam and son Charlie with Nordegren.

Page Six breaks down the athlete’s past — and present — romances below.

LeAnn Rimes

Woods and singer LeAnn Rimes “went out a few times” prior to her 2002 wedding to Dean Sheremet, a source told Us Weekly eight years later.

Woods was “into” Rimes, according to the magazine.

However, the Grammy winner’s dad reportedly thought she was too young to date Woods at the time.

Elin Nordegren

Woods and Nordegren met in 2001, and he got down on one knee two years later.

The couple tied the knot in 2004, welcoming Sam and Charlie in 2007 and 2009, respectively.

They finalized their divorce in 2010 in the wake of Woods’ cheating scandal, which was exposed the previous year.

The exes have since publicly reunited on multiple occasions for their kids’ sakes.

They have also spoken about their co-parenting dynamic, which Woods called “fantastic” in a 2015 Time magazine interview.

He referred to the model as one of his “best friends” at the time.

Rachel Uchitel

News broke in 2009 that Woods had cheated on Nordegren with a slew of mistresses — and had a secret relationship with Rachel Uchitel.

The nightclub manager spoke about the romance in HBO’s 2021 documentary “Tiger,” sharing her “regret[s]” with viewers.

However, she noted, “People came at me like they wanted to blame me for the fact a married man cheated on his wife, like I was the only one responsible for his actions.”

Holly Sampson

Adult film star Holly Sampson claimed in May 2009 that she was one of the many women who “f–ked Tiger Woods” during his marriage, detailing the alleged experience to the Sun seven months later.

She claimed to have been hired as entertainment for his birthday party and “didn’t hesitate to say yes” when a female assistant said Woods wanted to see her alone.

“It was a very sensual, beautiful experience,” Samspon recalled in December 2009. “I wanted to give him a birthday to remember.”

Lindsey Vonn

Woods and skiier Lindsey Vonn met in 2012 and became an item the following year.

“Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating,” he wrote via Facebook in March 2013.

Although the pair had broken up by May 2015, the Olympian gushed on “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” the following year that they were still “on good terms.”

In the September 2016 episode, Vonn explained, “I loved him so much, and I still do. It just didn’t work, you know?”

Kristin Smith

Woods began dating stylist Kristin Smith in 2015 but didn’t publicly address their romance until after their breakup.

“Kristin Smith and I are no longer dating and haven’t since last year,” he wrote via X in May 2017.

The following year, TMZ reported that the exes were in arbitration over an NDA.

Not much is known about their time together, with Smith telling D magazine in 2017, “I’m happy in my personal life; it’s really full. But I think if I shared it, I’d be damned if I did, damned if I didn’t. I don’t want it to define me.”

Erica Herman

In March 2023, Erica Herman also made headlines for taking Woods to court over an NDA she signed when they began dating in 2017.

They met two years prior when Herman was the general manager of his Florida restaurant, the Woods Jupiter.

The duo split in 2022, according to the documents Herman filed — in which she cited the Speak Now Act that allows NDAs to be nullified in instances of sexual harassment or assault.

Herman never publicly made accusations against Woods, who called her a “jilted” lover, and dropped the lawsuit in June 2023.

Vanessa Trump

Page Six reported in March 2025 that Woods had secretly been dating Vanessa Trump.

“They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, they share a lot of the same values,” an insider told us at the time.

Woods and Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife both live in Florida, with his kids going to the same school as her eldest daughter, Kai.
