The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the employee's parents, asserts that Woods and girlfriend Erica Herman, who was the general manager of his restaurant, should have known about the employee's alcoholism.
Both Tiger Woods and his girlfriend, Erica Herman , were named in the lawsuit. By Des Bieler Des Bieler Sports reporter covering national topics, including fantasy football, as well as supporting coverage of D.C.-area teams Email Bio Follow May 14 at 12:26 AM A lawsuit filed Monday against Tiger Woods claims the golfer contributed to the death of an employee of his restaurant who was in a one-car crash in December.
In addition to Woods and his restaurant, The Woods Jupiter, the lawsuit also named the golfer’s girlfriend, Erica Herman, who was the general manager of the establishment in Jupiter, Fla. Immesberger, who was 24 when he died on Dec. 10, was a bartender at The Woods. According to the lawsuit, filed in a Palm Beach County court on behalf of his parents, he ended his shift at approximately 3 p.m. that day and stayed at the restaurant, “sitting at the bar area,” until he headed home.
Per the lawsuit, Herman “personally knew” Immesberger and “specifically recruited” him to work at The Woods, and she was “well aware” of his “habitual use of alcohol.” As Woods has staged a career comeback that began last year and culminated in his triumph last month at the Masters, Herman has become a familiar figure to golf fans, who have seen Woods greet her with affection after completing rounds.
