Golf Digest shared a clip in which Woods praised his mother, tweeting:
“My mom was tough. She was a disciplinarian. There was no gray area with mom. It was either black or white. And, you know, part of one of the reasons why I got into Stanford is because mom always insisted I have good grades. I mean, she’s one of the most determined individuals you’ll ever meet.
I get a lot of that fight, that spirit from mom when I play. And it comes out of my, my emotions that come out when I play. It’s my mom. My dad was very calm, very even keel, and she is definitely not.”
Tiger Woods expresses his grief after his mother died in a tweet
“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning. 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.”
