It is not a secret that Earl Woods and Kultida Punsawad had been the two biggest reasons Tiger Woods has a successful golfing career now. They encouraged and supported their son to pursue his dreams and made him the greatest golfer we now see. The golfer has never forgotten about his parents’ dedication and has expressed his appreciation towards them.
Furthermore, he takes care of his children, who he had with his first wife. He also has a girlfriend, Erica Herman, and lives with her in his Florida mansion. However, are his parents, girlfriend, and children the only family he has?
Eldrick Tont Woods, famously known as Tiger Woods, was born to Earl Woods and Kultida Punsawad in 1975. Although his mother didn’t have another family, his father had another family with his first wife, from which he had three children.
Notably, Woods’ steps-siblings, Earl Woods Jr., Kevin Dale Woods, and Royce Renee Woods, are 20, 18, and 17 years older than him. And according to them, the golfer doesn’t keep a good relationship with his step-siblings.
