“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable,” Tiger wrote. “She was my biggest fan, greatest supporter, without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.”
He also reflected on the deep love she shared with her grandchildren, Sam and Charlie, and thanked fans for their support during this difficult time.
Kultida was a constant presence throughout her son’s legendary career. Just weeks ago, she attended his TMRW Golf League (TGL) debut, continuing her unwavering support.
