Tiger Woods has announced that he will not participate in this week’s Genesis Invitational, the prestigious tournament he hosts. This decision comes following the recent passing of his mother, Kultida, who died at the age of 78. Woods expressed his “heartfelt sadness” over her loss in a statement shared on social media.
In a statement, Woods revealed he had planned to make his first PGA Tour appearance of the year at Torrey Pines but ultimately decided against it. “I planned to tee it up this week, but I’m just not ready,” he said. “I did my best to prepare, knowing it’s what my mom would have wanted, but I’m still processing her loss.”
Woods thanked those who have reached out during this difficult time and expressed hope that he would be present at Torrey later in the week.
