Tiger Woods Biopic in the Works at Amazon MGM – With the Obamas on Board? Fore Real!

Buy Me A Coffee

Tiger Woods is getting the Hollywood treatment, and Amazon MGM is teeing up a blockbuster biopic about the golf legend. And guess who’s circling the project like a well-aimed putt? None other than Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground. Yes, that’s right—the former POTUS and FLOTUS might just be producing a film about the greatest golfer of all time. Bet you didn’t have that on your 2025 bingo card.

The Story: From Tiny Golf Prodigy to Championship Machine
The film is based on Kevin Cook’s book The Tiger Slam: The Inside Story of the Greatest Golf Ever Played (which is a fancy way of saying, “This guy won so much it was almost unfair”). It will be directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, the same guy who gave us King Richard—so expect an inspiring sports movie that will probably make you cry, cheer, and consider picking up a golf club (before immediately putting it down because… effort).

The movie will focus on Woods’ iconic run where he won four major championships in a row, now known as the legendary “Tiger Slam.” Because winning one major championship wasn’t enough for this guy—he had to collect them like Infinity Stones.

What’s Not in the Movie? The Drama Off the Green
Before you start rubbing your hands together for all the juicy scandals, hold your golf carts—this movie is strictly about Woods’ golf dominance. So, no wild tales about that infamous 2009 tabloid meltdown, no dramatic recreations of sponsorship deals vanishing faster than a lost golf ball, and definitely no late-night SUV incidents.

That means you won’t see Gatorade, AT&T, or General Motors awkwardly backing away from Tiger like he just shanked a drive into their living room. Nor will there be scenes of his 2017 DUI arrest or his jaw-dropping 2021 car crash, which he somehow survived like an action hero.

Instead, this will be all about Tiger’s triumphant return to the game, including his epic 2019 Masters victory. That’s right—the man came back after over a decade and still took home the green jacket like it was destiny.

Hollywood Loves Tiger
If this all sounds familiar, that’s because HBO already made a documentary called Tiger in 2021, which dived deep into his life’s highs and lows. Variety’s Dan D’Addario even called it “compelling,” which in critic-speak is basically an enthusiastic fist pump.

But this new Amazon MGM film? It’s all about the legend of Tiger on the course—so expect dramatic slow-motion putts, inspirational training montages, and possibly a moment where someone looks him in the eye and says, “You are golf.”

When Can You Watch?
No clue. Hollywood timelines are as unpredictable as a bad slice. But Amazon MGM has made it clear they’re doubling down on making movies, aiming to release 12 to 14 films theatrically in 2026. So, if all goes well, you could be watching Tiger’s glory days on the big screen sooner rather than later.

Until then, grab some popcorn, practice your swing, and get ready for a film that will remind you just how ridiculous Tiger Woods was at golf.
