Tiger Woods has announced that his mother Kultida has died. She was 78. He said in a statement: 'It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning. '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.'. Woods, 49, did not reveal the cause of death. She was at his recent TGL match in Florida on January 14.

In June 2024, speaking upon receiving the Bob Jones award - one of the most prestigious individual honors in golf - Woods paid an emotional tribute to his mother. 'My mom doesn’t get enough credit,' he said, with her in the audience. 'Everyone thought that it was my dad when I went on the road, which it was, but Mom was at home. If you don’t know, Mom has been there my entire life. 'This award, I accept it in humbleness and just unbelievable regard for the past recipients, but I also accept it for my mommy, too.
'She allowed me to get here. She allowed me to do these things, chase my dreams, and the support and love - I didn’t do this alone. I had the greatest rock that any child could possibly have: my mom. Thank you, Mommy.'. As well as being there to witness her son's all-conquering career in golf, she was also there during his downfall, too. After his string of infidelities had been exposed, culminating in a car crash at his Florida home in the early hours of the morning, Woods resurfaced three months later at a press conference where he apologized for his affairs.
