Every child dreads the day when they have to say goodbye to their parent, and that is exactly what golf legend Tiger Woods is going through today. Woods is mourning the loss of his mother, Kultida Woods, who passed away and left a gaping hole in the lives of those who loved her. The news has sent shockwaves through the golfing community, with fans and fellow players alike offering condolences to the bereaved family as their star’s mother left the world at 78. As the reality of her passing sets in, the outpouring of support is proof of the profound impact Kultida had on the lives of those around her.

Tiger Woods took to social media to share the heartbreaking news, after Kultida passed away early this morning, paying a heartfelt tribute to his mother that has left fans and friends choking back tears. “She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible,” he wrote, his words as a testament to the unwavering love and devotion Kultida had for her son. The emotional post also revealed the special bond Kultida shared with her grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. “She was loved by so many,  but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.” 

Tiger Woods is thanking his fans in advance for their support and prayers as he goes through a tough time after losing his mom. He’s grateful for their kindness and respect for his family’s privacy. “Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom”, he wrote.

We all know Woods likes to keep his personal life away from the public eye but his eulogy hardly comes as a surprise, given the times the golfer has spoken up about his mother.

Tiger Woods has always been open about the special bond he shares with his mother, Kultida Woods. In a beautiful moment last year, while accepting the prestigious Bob Jones award, Woods got emotional as he paid tribute to his mom. “My mom doesn’t get enough credit… Mom has been there my entire life,” he said, his voice filled with gratitude. It was clear that his mom’s unwavering support and love meant the world to him. “This award, I accept it in humbleness and just unbelievable regard for the past recipients, but I also accept it for my mommy, too,” he added, showing just how much she meant to him.

He credited her with teaching him valuable lessons and instilling in him the discipline and work ethic that propelled him to golfing greatness. “She allowed me to get here.

However, even in this hard time, Woods could count on his fans to be there and show support as they always had. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Woods family.
