At age 2, Tiger appeared on TV to show off his putting skills. His father, Earl, told the presenter that Tiger had picked up a golf club at three months and started playing at eight months. According to multiple voices in the documentary, including his own, Earl believed he had been chosen by God to groom Tiger for greatness, not just on the golf course, but as a world-changer on the scale of Buddha, Gandhi, Jesus or Mandela.
As if that wasn’t enough pressure, when Tiger went pro at 20 and soon after signed a multimillion-dollar endorsement deal with Nike, he was hailed as the first superstar golfer of colour in a traditionally white sport – as a “Michael Jordan in long pants”. It was a lot of pressure, especially for someone who famously told Oprah he thought of himself not as African-American but as “Cablinasian,” an abbreviation of his mixed Caucasian, Black, American Indian and Asian ancestry.
The documentary series contextualises Tiger’s triumphs and tragedies through never-before-seen footage and interviews with those who know him best, including his former caddy and close friend, Steve Williams; golf legend Sir Nick Faldo; Tiger’s first true love Dina Parr; and Rachel Uchitel, the woman at the centre of the sex scandal that forever altered Tiger’s world, breaking her silence for the first time.
Based on the 2018 New York Times Number One best-selling biography penned by Armen Keteyian and Jeff Benedict, Tiger is executive produced by Oscar-winner Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) and directed by Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning filmmaker Matthew Heineman (Cartel Land, A Private War) and Emmy nominee Matthew Hamachek (Amanda Knox). Tiger has an 8/10 rating on IMDb with Variety hailing it as “urgent and powerful viewing that withholds judgment, but nothing else”.
