Even though Kultida has spent the majority of her life in the States, she has never forgotten her roots and culture. Kultida is not completely Thai.

Kultida comes from a mixed background with Chinese, Dutch, and Thai ancestry. However, she brought up her son, golf legend Tiger Woods with Asian values and culture. 

Meeting Between Kultida and Earl

Kultida and Earls Wood met in Bangkok, Thailand in the 1960s during the brutal Vietnam War. Earl Woods at that time was serving in the army, and Kultida was working as a  civilian secretary in the U.S. Army office. Both of them seemed to have bumped into each other and henceforth their relationship bloomed. 

Kultida and Earl Woods tied the knot in 1969 after moving to the US. Kultida never left her country and knew very little English but her love for her husband prevailed and together with Earl they returned to Brooklyn, New York.

After moving to the States, the couple settled down in Cypress, California. They welcomed the future golfing legend, Tiger Woods in 1975. There the couple spent 37 years together, but sadly on May 3rd, 2006, Earl Woods passed away from a heart attack while he was undergoing cancer treatment.
