“She was my biggest fan, the biggest supporter, without her any of my personal achievements would have been possible.
“She was loved by so many people, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie. Thank you all for your support, your prayers and your privacy at this difficult moment for me and my family. I love you mom.
Woods did not reveal the cause of the death of his mother, who the previous week had attended the TGL match of his son in Florida. The former father of the world number one, Earl, died in 2006.
The 49 -year -old man underwent surgery in September to approach back spasms, which seriously limited his tournament game last year.
He and his 15 -year -old Charlie son finished second in the PNC championship in December, and the 15 times major winner has since played twice to Jupiter Links in the TGL.
Woods won 82 PGA Tour victories in his name, including eight in Torrey Pines, where he claimed seven securities from seven farmers and the US Open 2008.
The Genesis Invitational is staged during San Diego between February 13 and 16 after being far from the Riviera Country Club due to the impact of forest fires in Los Angeles.
