“With the sincere sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, died early this morning,” Woods wrote. “My mother was a force of our own nature, her spirit was simply undeniable. It was fast with the needle and a laugh. He was my greatest fan, greatest supporter, without her, none of my personal achievements would have been possible. He was loved by many , but especially for their two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.
“Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. I love you mom.”
Tiger was the only child of Kultida and Earl Woods together. Tiger has some media brothers in his father’s first marriage. Kultida met Earl while he was on the army in Thailand. She was of Thai, China and Dutch ancestry.
