CWEB Reports confirm that Amazon MGM Studios is moving forward with a highly anticipated biopic centered on golf icon Tiger Woods, with former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground, in advanced talks to produce. The project, inspired by Kevin Cook’s acclaimed book The Tiger Slam: The Inside Story of the Greatest Golf Ever Played, aims to chronicle Woods’ meteoric rise and unparalleled career in professional golf.
According to CWEB News, Amazon MGM secured the rights to Cook’s 2022 book. The book delves into Woods’ historic 2000–2001 season, dubbed the “Tiger Slam,” during which he simultaneously held all four major championship titles. The film will focus primarily on his professional triumphs, including his 15 major championships and 82 PGA Tour wins while sidestepping controversies that marked his personal life.
Director Reinaldo Marcus Green, fresh off his Oscar success with King Richard—the biopic that earned Will Smith an Academy Award for his portrayal of Serena and Venus Williams’ father—is reportedly in negotiations to helm the project. CWEB sources note that Green’s ability to craft compelling sports narratives made him a top choice for the studio.
The involvement of Higher Ground Productions adds significant prestige to the project. The Obamas, both avid golf enthusiasts, share a longstanding connection with Woods. During his presidency, Barack Obama frequently golfed with Woods, who also visited the White House multiple times. A CWEB insider revealed, “The Obamas see this as a story of resilience and legacy, aligning perfectly with their mission to spotlight impactful narratives.”
Amazon MGM’s push into theatrical releases further fuels anticipation for the film. The studio recently announced plans to distribute 12–14 movies annually in cinemas, though an official timeline for the Woods biopic remains under wraps. This project marks another high-profile collaboration for the studio, following recent hits like Air and Creed III.
While Woods’ life has been explored before—including the 2021 HBO documentary Tiger—this biopic promises a dramatic retelling of his career-defining moments. CWEB News highlights that the film will emphasize his comeback journeys, including his 2019 Masters victory after multiple injuries and personal setbacks.
As the project gains momentum, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see how Green and Higher Ground translate Woods’ extraordinary saga to the screen. With Amazon MGM’s resources and the Obamas’ storytelling prowess, this biopic could become a defining portrait of one of sports’ most enigmatic figures.
