Tiger Woods Honors Late Mother Kultida in Emotional Return to Golf

Tiger Woods has spoken publicly for the first time about the passing of his mother, Kultida Woods, at the age of 80, describing her as his 'biggest fan' and 'rock' throughout his career. Following her death, he withdrew from the Genesis Invitational, stating he was 'just not ready' to compete, despite being the tournament host. Woods participated in a moment of silence at the TGL, where players wore special red pins honoring Kultida, who believed red was Tiger's power color. He reflected on her influence, recalling how she supported him at every junior event and instilled a strong work ethic in him. Tiger returned to competitive golf this past Tuesday, expressing gratitude for the support from teammates and fans during this challenging time. The golfing community has rallied around Woods, paying tribute to his mother's legacy and impact on his life and career.
