On January 27th, he attended Tida Woods in Tidas and saw his son join the new Simulation Golf League.

Woods noticed when he spoke to his mother in the crowd and joked that after a disappointing start he would try and prevent him from doing sucking.

This sums up the intimate and loving mother-son relationship where Woods benefited from his entire sparkling career.

Tida Woods has become a familiar face for golf fans. Often, his son is waiting behind the 18th Green to celebrate his many big victory. Woods has previously spoken about the influence of his parents and the sacrifices they made to help him achieve his dreams.

He famously broke down in tears after winning the 2006 British Open, shortly after the death of his father, Earl. Woods, who will be inducted into the Golf Hall of Fame in 2022, revealed that his parents took out a second mortgage to fund his junior golf career.

Holding back tears, the 49-year-old said: “We didn’t know if we would have enough money for me to go to a prestigious university or get a job.” » “So my family made a tough decision and took out a second mortgage when I was 14-and-a-half so I could play on the AJGA Tour.

“My mom stayed home, my dad went traveling, and I used my second mortgage to play on the AJGA Tour. “Without the sacrifices of my mother, who took me to all those junior golf tournaments, and my father, who is no longer with us, who instilled in me the hard work required to fight for what I believe in and follow my dreams, nothing is given to me, everything is earned.

“If you don’t go out there and put in the effort, you’re not going to get results, but more importantly, you don’t deserve them. You don’t deserve this.

“It affected my development. “That defined my career.”

Tida Woods made a rare public statement after her son’s cheating scandal in 2009 and her son apologized on TV in 2010.
