Tiger Woods has been dropped from a lawsuit filed by the parents of a staffer at his Florida restaurant who died in a drunk driving accident after allegedly being overserved alcohol.
Woods' lawyers said Monday that the superstar golfer was no longer named in the suit, which is continuing against the restaurant The Woods Jupiter and its general manager Erica Herman, who is Woods' girlfriend.
Woods' lawyer Barry Postman called the decision not to name the golfer in the lawsuit "clearly appropriate."
Woods' legal team said in court documents filed this month that the plaintiffs had made improper legal claims "in a rush to sue a public figure."
