Tiger Woods makes heartbreaking announcement about ‘biggest fan' — his mom
Tiger Woods took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to make a heartbreaking announcement.
His mom, Kultida Woods, died 'early this morning.' Kultida Woods, whom he described as his 'biggest fan,' was 81 years old.
'It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,' Tiger Woods began his statement on Tuesday, Feb. 4.
'My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. She was quick with the needle and a laugh.'
In addition to calling his mom his biggest fan, Tiger Woods also described her as his '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 concluded his statement, sharing a photo of Kultida Woods alongside it.
Just a week ago, Tiger Woods shared a relatable moment with his mom, who was in the crowd, while competing at a TGL match, 'Hi Mom! Not gonna suck tonight, OK?'
In June, while being awarded the USGA's Bob Jones Award, Tiger Woods said his mom is the one who 'doesn't get enough credit.'
'They all thought that it was me and dad on the road, which it was, but mom was at home. If you don't know, mom has been there my entire life, she's always been there through thick and thin.'
Adding that while he accepted the award 'in humbleness' and 'unbelievable regard,' Tiger Woods said he 'also accept it for my mommy too.'
'She allowed me to get here, she allowed me to do these things, chase my dreams,' Tiger Woods continued. 'I didn't do this alone, I had the greatest rock that any child could possibly have - my mom. Thank you, mommy.'
