A Deeper Connection Between the Trumps and Tiger Woods?
While Woods’ presence at the tournament was expected, his association with Kai Trump raised eyebrows. The connection between the Trump family and Tiger Woods has long been known, as Woods has played multiple rounds of golf with former President Donald Trump. However, Kai’s involvement in the golf legend’s circle sparked new intrigue.
Woods made his entrance at the California venue wearing Sun Day Red, his newly launched clothing brand, created in partnership with TaylorMade—the same company backing Kai Trump. This business collaboration, along with their shared time at the Genesis Invitational, has fueled speculation about a mentor-like relationship between Woods and the young golfer.
Meanwhile, PGA Tour stars, including Tony Finau, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy, paid tribute to Kultida Woods by wearing red pins that read “For Tida.”
The Legacy of Kultida Woods—A Driving Force Behind Tiger’s Success
Kultida Woods played a monumental role in her son’s legendary career, standing by him as he became an 82-time PGA Tour winner and 15-time major champion. Tiger remains tied with Sam Snead for the most PGA Tour wins in history, while only Jack Nicklaus holds more major titles with 18.
Following her passing, Woods shared an emotional tribute:
“It is with heartfelt sadness that I want to share that my dear mother, Kultida Woods, passed away early this morning. My mom was a force of nature, her spirit was simply undeniable. She was quick with a laugh and always had my back.”
“She was my biggest supporter, and without her, none of my personal achievements would have been possible. She was deeply loved, especially by her grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you for all the support and privacy during this difficult time. Love you, Mom.”
