Tiger Woods’ father Earl Woods passed away in 2006 at the age of 74. He would pass away after losing the battle against cancer. Following his death, his mother kept on cheering for him from the sidelines as the golfer worked his magic on the course.
Tiger Woods hailed his mother Kultida Woods after receiving Bob Jones Award in June 2024
Throughout the illustrious career of Tiger Woods, his mother Kultida Woods had stood by his side like a rock. So it was fitting for him to hail her during the Bob Jones Award ceremony in 2024.
The 15-time major champion was crowned the Bob Jones award winner in March of last year. This is the highest honor bestowed upon a player by the United States Golf Association (USGA).
Woods would collect his honor in June. In his award acceptance speech, the 82-time PGA Tour winner credited his success to his mother.
My Mom 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.
Tiger Woods said as per the PGA Tour
He later spoke about how she allowed him to chase his dreams as a young golfer and thanked her for his support while visibly getting emotional.
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.
Tiger Woods added
“I had the greatest rock that any child could possibly have: my mom. Thank you, Mommy.”
