World-class golfer Tiger Woods is being sued over the drunk-driving death of a bartender who worked at his Florida restaurant and was known to have a problem with alcohol.
A lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports alleges that Woods contributed to the death of Nicholas Immesberger, 24, who is said to have been over-served alcohol following a shift at The Woods restaurant in Jupiter, owned by Woods, to the point of ‘severe intoxication’ before fatally crashing his vehicle while attempting to drive himself home on December 10, 2018.
The complaint filed in Palm Beach County by the parents of Immesberger names Woods, his girlfriend, Erica Herman, who managed the establishment, and the restaurant itself as defendants.
According to the lawsuit, Woods and Herman were aware that Immesberger struggled with alcoholism but still permitted him to be served in the restaurant.
Immesberger was said to have been recruited to work at the restaurant by Herman, and both Woods and Herman had been drinking with him in the days leading up this death.
Could this be the beginning of Tiger’s fall from fame again? Woods recently claimed his 5th Masters title after having gone nearly 11 years since he last won a major. He was even recently presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US president Donald Trump, one of the highest medals a civilian can be awarded in the US.
All of this is coming off the heels of him losing his impeccable image to a sex scandal almost 10 years ago. He lost his health to four back surgeries that left him unable to get out of bed, much less swing a golf club, and he went two years without even playing a major. What do you think ziptocrats, do you believe this lawsuit could ruin his image and life again?
