Tiger Woods Thanks ‘Mommy’ Kultida in Heartfelt USGA Award Speech

The athlete credited his mother, Kultida, as his ‘greatest rock’ during his emotional speech.

Upon receiving the award on Tuesday, June 11, the 48-year-old golfer paid tribute to his 80-year-old “mommy.” He was also accompanied by his two kids, son Charlie and daughter Sam, whom he shares with ex-wife Elin Nordegren. At the 2022 Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the athlete reflected on the “tough decision” that his mom and dad made to support his rising golf career. … So, without the sacrifices of Mom who took me to all those junior golf tournaments, and Dad, who’s not here, but who instilled in me this work ethic to fight for what I believe in, chase after my dreams, nothing’s ever going to be given to you, everything’s going to be earned.”
