Even recently, Kultida Woods was seen in attendance for his TGL debut a couple of weeks ago. Throughout his career, Woods’s achievements earned him the title GOAT and he credited it all to his parents. 

I didn’t do this alone. I had the greatest rock that any child could possibly have: my mom.

He spoke about how both his parents supported him throughout his journey in the golf world since the age of 6. Despite financial issues, his parents made sure Woods had the facilities to advance in golf and be where he is today.

Tiger Woods recalled how his mother, Kultida Woods, was always on every step of his journey, even when he was entangled in scandal after his divorce from wife Elin Nordegren. He said his mother was hurt in the process as he strayed away from the teachings of Buddha.

However, Kultida embraced his son following his heartbreaking speech after his divorce, saying, “As a human being, everyone has faults, makes missteps and learns from it.” He further added that he was deeply loved by his grandchildren, son Charlie and daughter Sam.

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 loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.

Tiger Woods further recalled how his mother used to beat him in a 2006 article by The San Diego Union-Tribune. He said he still has the handprints of his mom as she used to “beat the hell out of” him.

Despite the toughness, Kultida prayed to Buddha “that in the next life Tiger” will be his son again. During the 2022 World Golf Hall of Fame speech, Woods choked up saying “without the sacrifices of mom” nothing he has done and achieved would have been possible.
