Tiger Woods' mom Kultida Woods is standing strong behind her son. "People don't understand that Tiger has a very good heart and soul," Kultida told reporters after her son's apology speech this morning.

Kultida also told reporters she is "so proud to be his mother. Period," TMZ reports.

"He didn't kill anybody," she continued.  "He didn't do anything illegal."

Kultida will not be influenced by anyone who feels she should disown her son.

"If anyone tells me to condemn him, I say look at yourself first," she said.

Kultida was the first person Tiger embraced after his public apology.
