For the first time since his mother Kultida\u2019s<\/strong> death, Tiger Woods<\/strong> played competitive golf Tuesday night. He and his Jupiter Links G.C.<\/strong> teammates took on New York G.C.<\/strong> in a TGL<\/strong> Match at the SoFi Center.<\/p>\n

Woods last competed at TGL Jan. 27 \u2013 Jupiter Links\u2019 first victory. That also turned out to be the final time Kultida Woods saw him play. She passed away<\/strong><\/a> Feb. 4.<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods was on hand<\/a><\/strong> for last week\u2019s Genesis Invitational<\/strong> at Torrey Pines, which he hosts, but didn\u2019t play. Tuesday night marked his return to competition, and although he\u2019s still dealing with the loss of his mother, he pointed out the fact Kultida last watched him play at SoFi Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a process,\u201d Woods told Scott Van Pelt<\/strong> ahead of the match. \u201cThis was the last time she ever watched me play. It\u2019s a bit emotional, coming in here tonight. Kiz and TK [Kevin Kisner<\/strong> and Tom Kim<\/strong>], they gave me huge hugs and we\u2019re ready to go as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kultida Woods was a key figure in Tiger Woods\u2019 rise in the golf world, becoming one of the greatest to ever step to the tee box. She also inspired his traditional Sunday red, which he turned into his own brand Sun Day Red<\/strong> last year.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to what he\u2019ll remember his mother saying to him when he stepped onto the course, Woods couldn\u2019t pick one particular moment. Instead, he noted her ability to share what she thought no matter what. At the same time, he\u2019ll always look back on her support along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a hard lady,\u201d Woods said. \u201cVery disciplined, very hard. She was very direct about her feelings, her emotions. She let you know either way. But she was always so supportive of me going out there and playing. It was incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n

TGL honored Kultida Woods at its first event after her passing, holding a moment of silence. Officials at the Genesis Invitational then put a white flag<\/a><\/strong> on the pin at the seventh hole for the tournament at Torrey Pines, a color culturally significant to her Buddhism. Golfers also wore a red pin, which Jupiter Links also donned during Tuesday\u2019s TGL match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had amazing family support. All the players have reached out that were playing here this week,\u201d Woods said on the CBS broadcast during the tournament. \u201cThe amount of texts and emails and nice messages of support I got has really helped and has really meant a lot to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
