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.

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!

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.

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.

After watching the first episode, and being a big Tiger fan myself, I can say the documentary is very insightful with new info about the backstory of Tigers upbringing and very well made. HBO does documentaries right!
