Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that his mother, Cutilda, has passed away, paying homage to his parents as “my biggest fan.”

“It’s a sadness in my heart that I want to share the early morning death of my dear mother, Kurda Woods,” he wrote the Major Champion 15 times on Instagram.

“My mother was a force of nature, and her heart simply couldn’t be denied. She was quick with needles and laughter. She was my biggest fan and biggest supporter. “Many people loved him, especially his two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.

“Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your confidentiality in this difficult moment for me and my family. Love you Mom.”

Thai national Kutilda met Woods’ father Earl when he was serving in the US military in Bangkok in the late 1960s.

An ever-present on the golf course during her son’s greatest triumphs, Woods has often spoken affectionately of how his mother’s support helped shape his career, noting in an interview how he was more fearful of her than his father. “He was very secular and deeply lay deeply in his ideas,” Woods said of his father. “My mother was an executor. My father was probably in the special forces, but I wasn’t afraid of him.

“My mother is still there and I’m always afraid of her death. She is a very hard and difficult old lady, very demanding. She was her hand, she was her, I love her so much.
