The Real Reason Tiger Woods Isn't A Fan Of His HBO Documentary

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, May 17, 2024

For starters, no one who works for Tiger Woods participated in the documentary at all. Woods has also been a long-time critic of the lack of privacy that he's been afforded; in 2019 he told CNN that he's "never liked" fame or the relentless pursuit of information about his personal life.

However, Matthew Heineman, one of the co-creators of the documentary, told CNN Sport that he thinks the story needs to be told. "Like all of us, he's human; he's flawed. And unlike all of us, his life has played out in the public eye in a way that probably no one else's life has. Tiger is an incredibly complex person; we want to really embrace that nuance and that complexity."

Co-creator Matthew Hamachek added, "I mean, you can't help but feel for a guy who was thrust into the national spotlight at the age of two."
