Amidst all the troubles he's had, Tiger Woods' story is supposed to be headed to Hollywood.

Amazon MGM is developing a biopic on the golf legend, with Barack and Michelle Obama's company Higher Ground involved in production talks, as Variety reported in 2025. The proposed film will be based on The Tiger Slam and focus on Woods' rise and most dominant stretch, when he won four straight majors.
That's the version of Tiger they're going with: Peak Tiger.
King Richard director Reinaldo Marcus Green is attached, which signals this isn't just another sports movie. It's aiming bigger.
But here's where it gets complicated: The project's development has come as Woods is dealing with a very real situation off the course. He was recently arrested following a rollover crash in Florida and now faces DUI-related charges, including property damage and refusing a lawful test. Authorities said he showed signs of impairment, though he tested negative for alcohol and admitted to taking medication earlier in the day.
Woods has pleaded not guilty and announced he's stepping away from golf to focus on treatment and his health.
That contrast is hard to ignore.
On one side, there's a movie celebrating one of the most dominant runs in sports history. On the other, a troubling current chapter is still unfolding in real time.
The film reportedly won't dive into Woods' personal controversies. It's focused on the wins, the run, the aura.
And that makes sense, because when you're telling the Tiger Woods story, there truly are two versions: the one that dominated golf and the one still being written.
