Tiger Woods’ The theme-birth mother, Kaltida Woods, who created her major feeling and encouraged her to wear a red shirt on Sunday, as she died on Tuesday as a electric color.
Woods announced the death of his 80 -year -old mother in a social media post. He did not disclose one reason or other details. She was in her indoor TMRW Golf League match in South Florida last week, where she lived.
He described him as “the force of nature”, who was his greatest supporters since that time, when he inspired him to go there for his 15 major championships in Junior Golf Tournaments in California, often his wide brimmed wisher And was wearing sunglasses.
Woods wrote, “It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, died early this morning.” “My mother was a strength of nature, his soul was just undisputed. She was in a hurry with needle and laughter. She was my biggest fan, biggest supporter, without her any personal achievement was possible. She loved a lot, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. ,
President Donald Trump was one of those who arrived with a position on their truth social, calling them “a wonderful effect” on Woods.
Wood’s father Earl died in 2006.
“Tida,”, as many called her, was working as a civil secretary at the US Army Office in Bangkok when she met Earl Woods, who was stationed there. When she married her and left Thailand for the first time in 1968, she was at least English dialect, first Brooklyn and then Saru, California, where Tiger Woods was born in 1975.
His father taught him golf. His mother brought discipline.
Woods last year when he received the Bob Jones Award from the USGA, everyone thought, “When I went on the road, it was my father.” “But mother was at home. If you do not know, then mother is my whole life. She always passes through thick and thin.
“He has allowed me to reach here. He allowed me to do these things, chased my dreams, and support and love – I didn’t do it alone. I had the biggest rock that any child could possibly be: My mother. ,
It was important for his mother to pass with Woods’ Thai heritage. She took her to Thailand for the first time when Woods was 9 years old, and she returned there to play three tournaments in her career, winning every time.
What he shared was a sense of fight.
“I am a virgin, and therefore Tiger,” he said on a rare occasion with Golf Digest’s Jam Diaz in Thailand in 2009.
“My mother was always worried when I was a girl: ‘What would people say?” And yet I think, I do not give a shame. I always tell Tiger: ‘You cannot do only things to please other people. This will ruin your energy, and you will not be happy in yourself. You have to do what is right for yourself. ‘And on it, he does a good job. ,
Inside the ropes, her mother wanted to see domination, and she got every bit.
“And then, Sportsmanship,” he once said.
She was responsible for her to wear Sunday’s red shirt – Woods now has a garment line named – because it was her power color in Thai.
Woods launched the Sun Day Red Brand last year, “Mom thought as a Capricorn that my power was red, so I wore red as a junior golfer and I won some tournaments.” “I go to a university that is red – Stanford is red. We wore red on the last day of each tournament, and then every tournament I have played as a professional, which I have worn red. This has just become synonymous with me. ,
He was also a tradition to give Woods a new tiger head cover for his driver every year. The sewing between orange-and-black was written in Thai, “Love mother.”
Tida went out of the house, where Woods became something more modern in Orange County, and after her husband’s death she moved to South Florida. She did not get out of several tournaments, but rarely missed the masters. She was there with her grandson when Woods captured her fifth green jacket and 15th Major in August 2019.
She was there for a long time, and Woods never failed to cite her influence on her career. It started long ago, taking him to the tournament or left him with a dollar in a golf course – 75 cents to buy a hot dog, 25 cents for phone calls to take him.
Woods said in a 2017 interview with USA Today that it was his mother’s discipline that he feared.
“My mother is still here and I am still afraid of him,” he said. “She is a very difficult, strict old woman, there is a lot of demand. … I love him very much, but he was difficult.
