The divorced golfer started dating Herman last year, and the couple made their first appearance together in April.

Tiger Woods has teed off at The Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

His girlfriend may be watching him from the crowd at the most prestigious golf tournament in the world. Tiger Woods - one of the game's all-time greats and a four-time Masters champion - will be cheered on by Erica Herman in person or from afar.
