Tiger Woods has been the epitome of success in the golf world. Arguably the greatest golfer of all time, the Californian player has touched heights of the game that remains untouched by the majority of golfers today. While it is largely believed that Woods’ success was a dream seen by his father, little do fans know that his mother Kultida Woods also had an equal contribution to Woods’ success.

Woods has long been vocal about the contribution of his mother. Scrolling through the interviews of the 16-time major champion, he has often been heard saying, “My mom was the hand, and my dad was the voice”. 

Being a part of Tiger Woods’ success, mother Kultida also enjoys celebrity status. However, going back in time, she once became a victim of a misinterpretation that forced her to declare, “no more interviews”.

Tiger Woods‘ father, Earl Woods, died in 2006. Considering the bonding between the two, the incident clearly had an emotionally devastating effect on the former world number one. However, looking at the other side of the coin, the incident also knitted the already strong bond between Woods and her mother.

The mother of Tiger Woods becomes a victim of misinterpretation

In 2009, Kultida indulged in a conversation with a media house. During the conversation, she recalled the repercussions of an interview she gave a decade ago.

The incident dates back to the late 90s when Kutlida took part in a popular TV talk show in her homeland, Thailand. Reportedly, during the show, she said that she would demand that Tiger Woods marries a Thai woman. Considering the aura of Woods, the news took no time to spread around the sports world. Days later, Kultida cleared the air by asserting, “I never said that. The dadgum media got it wrong. All I said was that it would be nice if he did”.
