The image of Tiger Woods clad in his signature red top and black trousers, striding down the 18th fairway with a sea of fans in tow, has become legendary in the realm of sports.

This attire, often donned by Woods on the final day of tournaments, seemed to herald another victory for the golfing maestro, adding yet another accolade to his illustrious career.
In a recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ Woods shed light on the origins of his iconic red and black ensemble, attributing it to his mother, Kultida. According to Woods, his mother, believing in the power of the color red for her Capricorn son, encouraged him to wear it for luck. And indeed, Woods found success time and again when sporting this distinctive combination, a fact he humorously acknowledged on the show.
Woods’ mother’s intuition proved remarkably accurate, as her son went on to clinch a record-equalling 82 PGA Tour victories.
Following his departure from Nike earlier this year after a 27-year partnership, Woods introduced his own sportswear brand, “Sun Day Red,” emphasizing athlete-centric design to enhance performance. The brand debuted at The Genesis Invitational in February, marking a new chapter in Woods’ entrepreneurial ventures.
In addition to sharing anecdotes about his son Charlie’s budding golf career, Woods engaged in a lighthearted exchange with Fallon, who presented him with various memes inspired by a viral photo of Woods seemingly shaking hands with a tree. The humorous memes, capturing the internet’s imagination, prompted laughter from Woods himself, who fondly recalled the moment captured in the now-famous image.
