Golf legend Tiger Woods is set to have his extraordinary life and career brought to the big screen in a newly announced biopic from Amazon MGM Studios. The film, which will explore both his record-breaking achievements and the personal struggles that shaped him, is being developed in collaboration with Higher Ground Productions, the media company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama.
The biopic will be based on The Tiger Slam, a book by Kevin Cook that chronicles Woods’ rise to dominance and the historic period when he held all four major golf championships simultaneously. The film aims to go beyond his legendary performances on the course, diving into the challenges he faced along the way—including injuries, personal controversies, and the 2021 car accident that nearly ended his career.
Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for directing King Richard—the critically acclaimed film about Venus and Serena Williams’ father—has been chosen to lead the project. His ability to capture the depth of sports icons and their personal lives makes him a fitting choice to bring Woods’ story to the screen.
While no release date has been set, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a compelling look at one of the most influential athletes of all time. Given Woods’ global impact, the film is expected to resonate with both golf enthusiasts and those who appreciate stories of resilience and redemption.
With Amazon MGM Studios and Higher Ground Productions backing the project, this biopic has all the makings of a must-watch sports drama.
