“RIP to Tiger Woods’ No. 1 Fan” – Golf Journalist Reveals Cause of Kultida Woods’ Death

Tiger Woods announced the passing of his mother, Kultida Woods, on Tuesday, February 5, at the age of 81. A strong and supportive presence in his life, Kultida was often seen cheering for her son during his greatest moments on the golf course. In a heartfelt tribute on social media, Woods described her as a “force of nature” whose spirit was “simply undeniable.” He expressed gratitude for her unwavering support, stating that none of his achievements would have been possible without her.

Tributes poured in from across the golfing world, with journalist Claire Rogers sharing a touching memory of Kultida’s last public appearance. Just last week, she attended a TGL event wearing a sweater that featured Tiger Woods’ iconic Masters victory pose. Rogers described the gesture as the “sweetest thing” and paid homage to Kultida as Tiger’s “No. 1 fan.” The sweater symbolized her lifelong pride in her son’s career, making it a poignant reminder of the deep bond they shared.

Beyond her visible support, Kultida played a crucial role in shaping Woods’ career, even influencing his signature red attire on Sundays. She believed red brought him luck, and history proved her right as Woods dominated tournaments wearing the color. Last year, he honored her influence by launching his apparel line, *Sun Day Red*. Their connection extended beyond golf, as Kultida was also a devoted grandmother to Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie, who were frequently seen by her side at events.

Woods’ loss is deeply felt not just by his family but by the golfing community that witnessed the unwavering support between mother and son. As fans and fellow athletes share their condolences, Kultida’s legacy lives on through Tiger’s storied career and the values she instilled in him. Her passing marks the end of an era, but her impact will forever be woven into the fabric of one of golf’s greatest legends.
