DRIVING ERICA AWAY

Tiger Woods has been chipping away at Erica Herman’s patience as he recovers from his near-fatal car crash at home in Florida. A source says the grumpy 45-year-old golfer, who had to learn how to walk again after injuring his right leg, treats his girlfriend, 36, like his caddy rather than his companion. “There’s only so much Erica can take,” shares the source. “She’s been Tiger’s nurse, maid and personal chef, often without any thanks.” And now that he’s on the mend — Tiger recently posted a video practicing his golf swing to Instagram — the former restaurant manager is done playing Florence Nightingale. “She tolerated Tiger’s crankiness because he was recuperating but it’s gone on long enough,” adds the source. “He needs to show a little appreciation or it’s only a matter of time before she gets fed up and leaves.” ★
