Tiger Woods Announces the Passing of His Mother, Kultida Woods

Tiger Woods announced the passing of his mother, Kultida Woods, on Tuesday, confirming the sad news but not revealing the cause of her death. The 15-time major winner shared a tribute to his mother on social media, describing her as a “force of nature” with an undeniable spirit. He fondly remembered her quick wit and laughter, expressing that she was his biggest fan and greatest supporter throughout his career. Tiger credited her as a key influence on his achievements, noting that she was deeply loved, especially by her grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.
Kultida, who was originally from Thailand, was a constant presence by her son’s side, supporting him throughout his golfing career. She was most recently seen attending a Tomorrow’s Golf League (TGL) match last month, where she was captured smiling and applauding after Tiger made a crucial putt. Her presence at these events showed the close bond she shared with her son, often cheering him on in both moments of triumph and challenge.
Tiger also took a moment to thank his fans for their support and prayers during this difficult time. He asked for privacy as he and his family navigate the grief of losing Kultida. The message concluded with a heartfelt “Love you Mom,” expressing the deep love and respect he had for her.
Kultida Woods was also notably present during one of the most challenging times in Tiger’s life, standing by him during his public confession in 2010 when he admitted to extramarital affairs. Her support during that turbulent period underscored her steadfast role in his life, offering him the comfort and strength needed as he faced one of the darkest moments of his career.
