Tiger

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.

I get that real Tiger Woods fans might find it intrusive, but for me, someone that doesn't watch golf I thought it was amazing. A true look at America's fascination with creating a star so they can destroy it. Tiger winning another major in 2019 makes for a true Hollywood story. I'm curious who will play him in a narrative one day?

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.

He had poor role models in life, but he's an inspiration for anyone who has lost their way in life and has found a way to battle back! I loved every part of this series! Go Tiger!

I know this feels exploitative, and I know it doesn't seem right to steal the last amounts of privacy Tiger has left, BUT this provided so much insight into how one of the greatest sports figures in American history was built. I unfortunately was compelled by some of the personal strife he went through (his father cheating, Tiger's ability to bury the things that chipped away at his amour). I think his story is important because you learn that the icons you place on a pedestal are nothing more than men. They are flesh, blood, and tears.
