HBO has released the trailer for their upcoming documentaryTiger. The two-part feature chronicles the rise, fall, and redemption of golferTiger Woods. There’s a lot of story to unpack considering that Woods was one of the greatest to ever play the game (if not the greatest), but then it all fell apart in the most public way possible. The documentary will feature the first sit-down interview withRachel Uchitel, the woman at the center of Woods’ sex scandal. And then there will also be the “redemption” part that showcases Tiger’s comeback.
As someone who has never followed golf that closely, I’m curious to see how this documentary tells Woods’ story. I’m obviously aware of Tiger Woods (even the most casual observer knows he’s a successful golfer), but hopefully this documentary will go beyond the headlines and provide a new perspective on this sports icon.
Check out theTigertrailer below. Part I premieres on Sunday, January 10th and Part II premieres on Sunday, January 17th.
