While the legendary Tiger Woods did not compete in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this past weekend—an event won by his good friend Rory McIlroy—Woods has still been actively involved in his new golf simulation league, TGL, which consists of team-based competition.
However, despite all of that, Woods shared heartbreaking personal news on Tuesday morning. He revealed that his beloved mother, Kultida Woods, who had recently attended his TGL debut, passed away early this morning.
“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning.” Woods posted. “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. She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom.”
Tiger Woods played in his first professional tournament in 1992 at just 16 years old. Since then, he has become one of the most talked-about and dominant figures in golf, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest and most accomplished athletes in the history of sports.
However, none of his success would have been possible without the support of his parents. His father, Earl Woods, passed away in 2006, and the two shared a deeply meaningful and well-publicized relationship. Similarly, Woods shared a strong bond with his mother, Kultida, whose support was crucial throughout his career.
“My dad was always the person who would plant seeds and give me encouragement but also would say things that would fester inside me that wouldn’t come to fruition for a while,” Woods told USA Today in 2023. “He was very worldly and deep in his thinking. My mom was the enforcer. My dad may have been in the Special Forces, but I was never afraid of him. She’s a very tough, tough old lady, very demanding. She was the hand, she was the one, I love her so much, but she was tough.”
