Woods pays tribute to ‘biggest fan’ as mother dies

Tiger Woods has paid tribute to his “biggest fan and greatest supporter” after announcing the death of his mother, Kultida.

Woods, 49, who was with his mother at last week’s TGL match in Florida, did not reveal the cause of her death.

Without his mother, Woods said none of his personal accomplishments would have been possible without her, who regularly attended his tournaments and was present when he won his fifth Masters, acing an 11-year wait to earn a 15th major in 2019.

“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning”, Woods, who lost his father Earl in 2006, said on social media.

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. She had a quick laugh and a quick needle. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.
