Genesis Invitational Honors Tiger Woods’ Late Mother with Special Tribute

A white flag on the 7th hole at Torrey Pines commemorates Kultida Woods’ Buddhist faith and lasting influence on her son’s legendary career.

Kultida Woods, Tiger Woods’ mother, passed away on February 4, 2025, at the age of 80, with her death announced by Woods on social media.
The Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines is honoring her memory with a white flag on the 7th hole, symbolizing purity and enlightenment in Buddhist culture.
The number 7, significant in Buddhism, represents a complete cycle or perfection and aligns with the tribute’s deeper meaning.
Kultida Woods, a native of Thailand and a devout Buddhist, played a pivotal role in shaping Tiger Woods’ discipline and work ethic throughout his career.
The tribute follows a similar gesture by Woods' TGL league, highlighting the profound respect and admiration for Kultida’s legacy within the golf community.
