Tiger Woods is going through a difficult time, which was marked by his recent mother’s death on 4 February. He resigned after losing the woman whom he described to be the “rock of his family”. The Genesis Invitational was a much-anticipated tournament for his debut season. Woods made a sincere announcement in which he stated that he wasn’t “ready.”
Despite Woods absence, Kultida Woods was honored by the PGA Tour at the Genesis Invitational in a heartfelt tribute. The white pin flag placed at the seventh hole of Torrey Pines was a touching tribute to Kultida Woods’ Buddhist faith and Thai roots. She felt that the color white, and the number 7, had deep meanings for her. They were a symbol of her memory.
Woods was not physically at the tournament, but his Sun Day Red brand maintained an presence on the 17th green, which further connected him with the event. Sun Day Red has recently stirred up excitement in the golfing world with an ambiguous Valentine’s Day Instagram post. The post, captioned “Next on the tee… More to come 2.18.25. #SunDayRed” featured a silhouetted golfer and sparked speculation regarding a new partnership.
Sun Day Red will be announcing exciting details regarding the new project. Theories about the identity were circulating on social media. Initial speculation included Tiger Woods’ son Charlie Woods who is working to earn his PGA Tour Card. Rory McIlroy or Justin Thomas have also been mentioned.
Karl Vilips has a strong case to make. Much like Woods’ rising star and 23-year-old Stanford grad, Karl Vilips has worn a Calypso Coral Sun Day Red polos. Vilips was recently confirmed on the US Tour for 2025. The speculation of a possible partnership between Woods and his brand is further fueled.
Sun Day Red’s teaser video has yet to reveal the identity of its golfer, but it is clear that the world awaits the announcement. Tiger Woods’ team and the golfing community are waiting with bated breath for what they have planned. Karl Vilips could be the new face of Sun Day Red or will another golfer come out from the shadows. It is a big moment both for Sun Day Red and for golf.
Tiger Woods’s mother has passed away and he is grieving. This new development comes at a very sensitive moment for him. Sun Day Red continues to be a hot topic, and Kultida Woods is being remembered with tributes.
