Tiger Woods loses mum

Golfing legend Tiger Woods sadly announced the de.ath of his mother on Tuesday. It comes after the 15-time major winner shared some touching moments with her during his first two TGL appearances

After sinking a putt on the fifth hole for his team, Jupiter Links GC, who were up against Los Angeles Golf Club on Jan. 14, cameras caught Kultida Woods, Tiger’s mum, cheering from the crowd.

Despite losing their opening match 12-1, Woods and his team were eager to make a comeback when they faced Rory McIlroy and Boston Common Golf on Jan. 27. “Hey Mom,” Woods called out to Kultida in the crowd, “Not gonna suck tonight, OK? ” A beaming Woods later referred to his mother as his ‘biggest fan’ in a heartfelt statement.

“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” Woods revealed on Tuesday in a statement posted on social media.

“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.”

TGL, the brainchild of golfing greats Woods and McIlroy, offered its heartfelt thoughts amidst a difficult time, stating: “Our thoughts are with the Woods family. We extend our deepest condolences.” The United States Golf Association (USGA) joined in the outpouring of support, saying: “We’re so sorry for your loss, Tiger.”
