It is Mother’s Day Sunday, and the golf world’s attention is in Philadelphia. The PGA Tour is in the city of Brotherly Love for the Truist Championship (previously Wells Fargo).

While golf fans are likely spending time with their mother’s and taking in some golf, the Tiger Woods Foundation took some time to honor Tiger Woods’ late mother, Kultida Woods.

“This Mother’s Day we honor Tida Woods, whose quiet strength and unwavering belief shaped Tiger’s journey. Her legacy lives on in every student we empower,” Tiger’s foundation wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Woods’ mother sadly passed away earlier this year on February 4th. It was the week prior to the Genesis Invitational, the tournament that Tiger hosts typically in the Pacific Palisades.

Kultida’s tragic passing prompted Tiger to withdraw from the event. That postponed what was to be his 2025 PGA Tour season debut.

Sadly, Woods then announced that he ruptured his Achilles while training at home. His entire golf season is on ice now.

But Sunday and this post is about Kultida.

She was such an important factor in Tiger’s life and upbringing. Woods often spoke of her any chance he could.

“I knew that if I went out there and put myself out on the limb and I failed, hey, I had love to come home to,” Woods said back in 2007 to Golf Digest.

“Not everyone has that. And I know that with her, I always will. She has always, always been there for me.”

Tiger’s father had a large impact on his skill level on the course. But it was Kultida who he often credited with his demeanor and mental strength.

For those of you who still have your mother’s in your life, cherish her. But not just on Mother’s Day. Everyday.
