Genesis Invitational Honors Kultida Woods with Tributes

The golf community is mourning the loss of Kultida Woods, Tiger Woods's mother, who passed away at the age of 80. As a tribute, the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines features a white flag on the 7th hole, symbolizing purity and enlightenment in Buddhism, Kultida's faith. This gesture is deeply symbolic as both the color white and the number seven hold significant meanings in Buddhist culture. Tiger Woods, who withdrew from the tournament to process his mother's passing, acknowledged her as his 'biggest fan and greatest supporter'. The PGA Tour and fellow players have shown solidarity and respect through these tributes, including wearing red pins. The Genesis Invitational, traditionally held at Riviera Country Club, was moved to Torrey Pines due to recent wildfires in Los Angeles.
