“My mother was strict”: Tiger Woods spoke honestly about his relationship with his late mother in 2019

“My mother was strict. She was a disciplinarian. With my mother there was no grey area, it was either black or white. And one of the reasons I got into Stanford is because my mom always told me to get good grades. I mean, she’s one of the most motivated people you’ll ever meet. I get a lot of my fighting spirit and spirit from my mom when I play, and that’s what comes from me, that emotion that comes out when I perform. This is my mother. My father was a very calm, very level-headed person, but my mother definitely was not. “

“It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Kultida Woods, early this morning. My mother was a force of nature and her spirit was undeniable. She was quick with a needle and a laugh. She has been my biggest fan and biggest supporter, and without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible.”
