Tiger Woods has ‘eliminated sex’ while training for the Masters: pal
Tiger Woods is making preparations to compete at the Masters Tournament next week — and taking drastic measures to ensure that he’s ready to play.
“He’s focused,” says a friend of the 48-year-old golfer. “He’s working really hard in the gym. He’s eating right. He’s even eliminated sex.
“He does that now when he’s preparing: no sex until the tournament is over. He doesn’t want anything to take away his focus.”
Woods is currently single. His six-year relationship with girlfriend Erica Herman — a former waitress at his restaurant in Jupiter, Florida — ended acrimoniously in 2023.
She took him to court, suing him in for $30m in an attempt to get out of a non-disclosure agreement she had signed, but dropped the case in November last year. Woods also previously dated ski racer Lindsey Vonn.
Tiger’s publicist did not respond to calls or a request for comment from The Post.
Tiger isn’t the first athlete to abstain from sexual activity before competition. Muhammad Ali once claimed that he remained celibate for six weeks before a big match; Mike Tyson later said that he went for five years without sex during his prime.

Woods is currently single. His six-year relationship with girlfriend Erica Herman — a former waitress at his restaurant in Jupiter, Florida — ended acrimoniously in 2023.
She took him to court, suing him in for $30m in an attempt to get out of a non-disclosure agreement she had signed, but dropped the case in November last year. Woods also previously dated ski racer Lindsey Vonn.

When asked by The Post if Woods is currently dating, his pal demurred, saying “there’s no one to speak of.”

In the 1980s, The San Francisco 49ers had “red light games,” where players were forbidden from having sex for days before they took the field.
But not all athletes agree. In a 1969 interview with Playboy, Joe Namath said that he had sex before games to “get rid of the kind of nervous tension that an athlete doesn’t need.”
In 2010, then-England soccer team manager Fabio Capello banned players from sex before matches while preparing for that year’s World Cup, to prevent them from getting “distracted.”
Four years later a handful of national teams followed suit — Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chile, Mexico and Russia — although it didn’t seem to work, and all crashed out of the World Cup tournament in its early stages.
Woods hasn’t officially announced that he’s playing in the Masters, but he is privately telling people in his inner circle he will compete, according to the friend.
He flew to Georgia over the weekend and played a round at Augusta National, where the tournament takes place, which appears signals his interest.
