Tiger Woods’ mother Kutilda passes away

Tiger Woods on Tuesday announced that his mother Kutilda Woods has passed away earlier in the morning, paying a touching tribute to his parent as “my biggest fan.”

“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning,” the legendary golfer wrote on Instagram.

“My Mom was a force of nature all her own, her spirit was simply undeniable. 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.

“Thank you all for your support, prayers and privacy at this difficult time for me and my family. Love you Mom,” the 15-time major champion concluded.

Kutilda witnessed almost every major success that his son had at the golf course.

Woods has often spoken affectionately of how his mother’s support helped shape his career.
