Tiger Woods shared the heartbreaking news on Tuesday that his beloved mother, Kultida Woods, had passed away.
He took to social media to pay tribute to her, describing her as his “biggest fan” and the person who supported him through his entire career.
A Heartfelt Tribute to a Supportive Mother
In his post on X, Woods wrote, “It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning.”
He continued, remembering her as a strong, vibrant presence in his life.
“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable.
She was quick with the needle and a laugh.
She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.”
He also acknowledged how much she was loved, particularly by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.
Woods expressed his gratitude for the support and prayers his family has received during this difficult time.
A Lasting Influence in His Life and Career
Kutilda Woods, originally from Thailand, met Tiger’s father, Earl, while he was stationed in Bangkok during the late 1960s.
Throughout Tiger’s career, his mother’s presence was constant, especially during his greatest achievements on the golf course.
Tiger Woods has frequently spoken with affection about how her unwavering support shaped him not only as a golfer but as a person.
In an earlier interview, Woods mentioned that while his father, Earl, was a wise and worldly figure, it was his mother who truly kept him in check. “My mom was the enforcer.
My dad may have been in the Special Forces, but I was never afraid of him,” Woods said.
“My mom’s still here and I’m still deathly afraid of her.
She’s a very tough, tough old lady, very demanding.
She was the hand, she was the one, I love her so much.”
A Family’s Loss
The golf world and fans alike will remember Kultida Woods not only as the mother of a legendary golfer but also as an enduring figure who was there for every step of his journey.
Tiger’s heartfelt words speak to the deep bond they shared, one that influenced his life far beyond the golf course.
