Kultida Woods, mother of legendary golfer Tiger Woods, has died at the age of 80, according to Tiger himself. He announced the news via a statement on his X account.

Tiger described his mother as “biggest fan” and “greatest supporter” in his heartfelt message about Kultida’s passing:

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable,” Tiger said in his statement on X. “She was quick with the needle and a laugh. She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible. She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.”

Kultida was born in Thailand, and met Tiger’s father, Earl Woods, during the Vietnam War. They would later move to New York and got married in 1969. They would later settle in California, where Tiger was born in 1975. Kultida and Earl raised their son in Orange County, CA. The pair were married for 37 years, until Earl passed away in 2006.
