    Utterly awful

    I thought this film was worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space. Similarly to Edward Wood, the director will be very famous in the future, I am very confident of that.

    I could learn to love this film if I thought it were a parody - but it isn't. Tragically.

    Sets are woefully inadequate, acting with more wood than Tiger himself, comic bit-parts, abysmal script.... there is nothing redeeming except the undoubtedly gripping story, and the good resemblance of Tiger's screen mother to his real mum. Colin Montgomerie on the other hand...

    Ooh, but the score covering the closing credits is highly entertaining!

    An entertaining, warm story

    I thought this film was alot better than I thought it was going to be. The film was really engaging and the story of this family and what it went through was rather inspiring. Keith David was excellent as Earl Woods and the woman who played his wife was also quite good. >

    Anyway, two thumbs up from me.

    How bad this made for TV movie is.

    This is a clear example of people with more money than sense, mistaking themselves as artists and trying to feed off the talent of others. A movie about Tiger Woods' life up until that point, all 23 years of it, is not that entertaining. As a viewer you are not treated to anything more than could be summed up in...oh, i don't know...a 30 second Nike commercial.

    Particular bad points include the far from accurate portrayal of Colin Montgomerie with a broad Scottish accent. (just because he's Scottish)

    The responsibility must fall to the director to do his research or to just forget about this project for at least another 20 years.

    Oh deary me!

    What a film!! I couldn't turn it off, I did try but it was a lost cause. Just how bad actually is this film?

    It was rolling along nicely at "bad film" status until the story reached the Augusta Masters. Needless to say the status dive bombed to become one of the worst films I have ever watched. Terrible acting, terrible action shots, Terrible looking golf course??? but the main star of the show wasn't Tiger Woods .. it was Colin Montgomerie!! What a performance ... what a likeness?!? and what an accent?!? I want to know this actors name, he is my new hero.

    This film is so bad that It comes with my "must see" plea. Everyone, no matter the cost, needs to get their hands on this film. It is superb entertainment.

    He hits a ball with a stick

    I had to laugh at "Markles" who said this was directed by Senor Spielbergo from THAT Simpson's episode, because he's SO right.

    It was so bad that it kept me transfixed to the small screen in disbelief.

    I marvelled as a clearly embarrassed Keith David had to spout lines describing golf as some sort of quasi-mystical Zen-like art. Tiger is portrayed as some sort of crusading Black-Asian Superman fighting against ignorance and intolerance for the rights of all people of colour to play this pointless game.

    And then I felt sick when oh so poor nice middle-class boy Tiger was given 100 million dollars in sponsorship money !

    I mean, 100 MILLION dollars for hitting a ball with a stick !!!!!! An indictment of today's society if ever there was one, when ONE man can amass so much for doing so little. 100 million for the person who discovers the cure for Cancer, for the starving African children, for the doctors, the surgeons, the firemen and police officers - yes. But NOT for a guy who hits a ball with a stick !

    Senor Spielbergo, we salute you !
