Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer and former world number one, has publicly commemorated his mother, Kultida Woods, following her passing. A prominent figure both in his life and career, Kultida was not just a mother but the quintessential 'biggest fan' of her son.

Kultida, who was born in Thailand, was a constant presence at Woods' tournaments, celebrating every victory and supporting him through challenges. In a poignant statement shared on social media, Woods expressed his deep sorrow, stating:

"It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning."

He revealed that none of his remarkable achievements would have been possible without her unwavering support and belief in him. Woods famously acknowledged her role during his victory at the Masters in 2019, where he secured his 15th major title after an 11-year drought, underscoring her importance in his career.

In his tribute, Woods described his mother as a 'force of nature,' highlighting her undeniable spirit and sharp sense of humor:

"She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter."

Kultida's love extended beyond Tiger; she was cherished by her grandchildren, Sam and Charlie, who brought her immense joy. Woods concluded his heartfelt message by thanking everyone for their support and respect for his privacy during this trying time, expressing love for his mother with sincerity:

"Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom."

As the golfing community and fans around the world mourn the loss of Kultida Woods, her legacy of love and support will undoubtedly continue to resonate through the incredible accomplishments of her son, Tiger.
