Tiger

The tragedy of this man's life starts with his father's domination of him before he was even 2 years old. I speak from experience -- having had a "stage mother" who was determined to make me a child movie star -- ballet lessons that deformed my feet from toe dancing, performing at every school, club, and social event she could enter me during my entire childhood. So, I know what Earl was doing to his child because I have been there. Children do what their parents want from them in order to (1) please them and (2) because they are virtually dependent on them for food and shelter. But a lot of the "interviewees" got in wrong in this "Tiger" series: You are watching child abuse and its results. The father's obsession stunted the child's development. Tiger had no childhood. He was taught to do tricks for the audience. Like a trained dog or seal. To perform. That's not good parenting -- it's child abuse. Note: I thought Ms. Uchitel's altered lips were going to explode on camera. She thinks this series makes her famous again; it makes her infamous. She doesn't know the difference.

To watch this on the draw of random happenings one night (thanks Dad), was amazing.

I'mso glad I watched this and invested my time into it.

It was an investment. For the thing I learned in it was amazing.

Besides the incredible craft of Tiger, the accolades, the events, the ups and downs, there was a beautiful battle of the internal in this one.

To literally watch someone work through their own turmoil and trauma in this mini- series (which was so well edited), gave me such a high spirit when watching and now whe reflecting.

The way Tiger had to overcome his head to head battle with Mickelson in the '08 Masters and the way golf is played entirely, was like a mini-course on life - as Tiger had to do the same in life itself when coming back from being down.

He was patient and understanding with himself. He hurt himself along the way and others too. Many changes. Many sacrifices. Many bad swings (metaphorically that is). To have regained himself and to be better for his kids (who kept him accountable just by being his kids), is courageous and a true showing of strength.

Tiger. I give you love from here. Peter McDaniels, as well. Everything you said in your interview for this mini-film was spot on.

It's good to get an understanding of reality, but it comes from low places. I have a better understanding of Tiger, but am not sure getting too personal was necessary, or right. The golf and the battles are always entertaining!

Really good documentary. Always been a big Tiger fan, but this gets very personal. Good to see that he's cleaned up and getting his life together.

I didn't know much about Tiger Woods. I knew he was a golf champion for many years and he had some lawsuits and divorce. This was all I knew. I didn't know the background of all that. The producers of this 2 parts documentary made a great job. It is very well documented with a lot of footage from the golf games, from his childhood, interviews with friends, ex girlfriends, journalists and other players. I am looking forward to see the second part but so far it is very interesting and very sad at the same time. Why sad? I will not say much because I want you to see it for yourself but so far as I can see it it is about a boy who didn't have the chance to build his own path in life, others decided that before he grew up.
