Matt Bonesteel Washington Post 03/04/2021
That leaves little time for Woods's on-course redemption at the 2019 Masters, where he won his 15th major title: It's shoehorned into the last 10 minutes of a documentary that spans three hours and offers little in the way of revelation. Go to Full Review
Hannah Giorgis The Atlantic 03/02/2021
Where Tiger differs from many sports docs, including last year's ESPN series about Jordan, is in its candid and sometimes wrenching portrayal of its subject's emotional life. Go to Full Review
Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture 01/19/2021
The documentary's beats may be familiar to those who have followed his career closely. Nonetheless, it manages to offer some compelling insight within its tight framework. Go to Full Review
Joshua Rivera The Verge 03/04/2021
Though it's imperfect, Tiger can serve as a reminder that the easy stories aren't necessarily the ones we should be telling. In truth, we should meet our heroes - and think about who the villains really are, too. Go to Full Review

3/5
What promises to be an insightful look at an enigmatic athlete, along the lines of The Last Dance or OJ: Made in America, ends up as a simple career overview with some gossipy moments sprinkled throughout it. Go to Full Review

david f @dfulmer 08/09/2021 A good documentary about the rise and fall of the golfer. See more Birithivy Y 05/17/2021 Tiger - 8.5/10. HBO Sports releases a introspective documentary on the golf career of Tiger Woods, and the life and times in and outside of the world of golf. The man, the myth, the legend of the game's most grandest celebrity. This documentary brings to life what we know (and don't know) about him. As a sports fan, its really interesting as to seeing the workings and the progress of how he became the player that he became. From his youth of being a wunderkind golfer, to transforming into a mammoth sports figure, we see interviews and footage of what made him into the player that he is today. That's the rise part of the documentary. In terms of the fall, though I do understand the fact they had to show his extra marital affairs stories and history in order to show the complete picture, I still feel like it could have been left alone. The focus on his life revolving golf and how he couldn't be a regular person for the most part helps make him feel like an empathizing person. He probably wanted to live a normal life even with the success, but when you shoot to be the best, there are people who want to take you a notch down. The second part of the documentary feels a little bit too sensational, but outside of that it is a good tale of showing the good and the bad of becoming a global phenomenon. Overall a really great doc for sports fans, and one that might shed new light to people who only know him for his sports or scandals. See more 02/19/2021 Too bad we didn't get any interviews from Tiger See more michelle c 02/16/2021 I give this documentary 5 stars even though it lacked a strong ability to step all the way back and see Tiger Woods as the truly fragile human being he is (or was for the vast majority of his career & life). But I grew up in the thick of his magical existence in front of the camera and couldn't help enjoying this fascinating replay of his life, talent, struggles, relationships, father, mother, and divine golf swing anymore than the producers could. This is a must see. See more 02/07/2021 This show was produced by people who have never played golf or respect the game. Trash See more 01/25/2021 A pesar de que poco o nada me interesa el golf, más allá de llamarme la atención al saber que son los deportistas mejor pagos del mundo, esta historia de Eldrick Tont «Tiger» Woods es apasionante, lástima que le faltó edición, los 160 minutos pudieron ser menos de 100 sin tanto chisme y torneo. La vida de Woods es la clásica vida de niño genio explotado por su familia, castrado socialmente y reprimido emocionalmente, todo un caso de estudio. Interesante también desde el punto de vista de los medios de comunicación y el inmundo manejo que hacen de este tipo de casos. See more Read all reviews
