Growing up in an idyllic family full of support, Tiger Woods always dreamed of becoming a big golf star. His family was a huge support on this journey, but especially his mother, Kultida, who even when things did not go ideal for Tiger, gave him the wind at his back.
Tiger has spoken several times about his specific upbringing and his love for golf.
His father, who was a soldier, also applied the same principles to Tiger, believing that this way his sonwould become a strong person. Turns out Earl did the right thing.
The two met in the 1960s when Earl was stationed in Thailand, where Kultida worked as a secretary. A great love soon grew between them, and they were married shortly after.

Father's death
After the death of his father in 2006, Tiger admitted that it was one of the most difficult moments in his life, stressing that his father was a great mentor and friend.
