Golf legend Tiger Woods is mourning the loss of his mother, Kultida Woods, who passed away at the age of 81.
The news was shared by Tiger himself on social media, leaving fans and fellow golfers shocked and saddened.
A Tribute to a Mother Like No Other
Tiger took to social media to pay tribute to his mother, describing her as “a force of nature” with a spirit that was “undeniable.”
He shared fond memories of his mom, remembering her as his biggest fan and greatest supporter.
“She was quick with the needle and a laugh,” he wrote, adding that without her, none of his personal achievements would have been possible.
A Mother’s Unwavering Support
Kultida was often seen attending Tiger’s golf matches, including a recent TGL match in south Florida.
She was more than just a supportive mom – she was the “enforcer” in the household, keeping Tiger in line while his father, Earl, was away serving in the military.
Tiger has often credited his mother with teaching him the importance of hard work and discipline.
A Lasting Legacy
Kultida’s influence on Tiger’s golf career is undeniable. She was the one who encouraged him to wear his iconic red shirt on Sundays, believing it would bring him good luck.
And it seems she was right! Tiger has often spoken about how his mother’s advice helped him make crucial decisions on and off the golf course.
