As Tiger Woods was making the turn in his first round at the first-ever November Masters on Thursday, HBO released a one-minute, 15-second teaser clip for its upcoming two-part documentary film called “Tiger.”
The teaser video starts with a shot of a young Tiger striping a tee shot, then spinning around like a helicopter, displaying all the youthful exuberance of a child.
Earl Woods, his father, then comes on the screen. Talking at a microphone, he says: “Please forgive me, but sometimes I get very emotional talking about my son.”
What follows is a series of archive footage of Tiger over the years.
Speaking on a podcast back in May, noted journalist Armen Keteyian said that “Tiger Woods,” the New York Times No. 1 best-selling book he co-authored with Jeff Benedict in 2018, is being made into a two-part, four-hour-long DocuSeries. It was originally expected to come out in 2020, perhaps during this week of the Masters.
HBO has now confirmed the documentary is coming January 2021 to HBO Max.
Keteyian also said that CBS golf analyst and Hall of Famer Nick Faldo, HBO Sport’s Bryant Gumbel and other central figures in Tiger’s life, including some that declined to speak for the book, will make appearances in the documentary.
