“Captivating, heartbreaking and triumphant”
- Lea Palmieri, Decider
“Directors Matthew Heineman and Matthew Hamachek have pieced together the definitive filmed biography of Tiger Woods”
-Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times
“This terrific two-part documentary about Tiger Woods is rich and well-paced… There are a ton of interesting, illuminating details here, but the doc is even more intriguing as a meta-textual commentary on sex and gender roles, growth and change, and especially celebrity and intimacy.”
- Margaret Lyons, The New York Times
“A clear-eyed appraisal of fame and its aftermath, ‘Tiger’ is an urgent and powerful viewing that withholds judgement, but nothing else.”
- Daniel D’Addario, Variety
“Tiger reveals its subject through how he lives — or doesn’t. This is a tragedy in three acts… we know we’re looking at a ticking time bomb; we’ve sen it assembled wire by wire over the last 90 minutes.”
- Maria Fontoura, Rolling Stone
“Tiger is an unusual character study. The film does not pick sides. It does not glorify a hero or indemnify a villain. Rather, it dares to suggest Tiger Woods might simply be something else entirely: a human being.”
- James Colgan, Golf.com
“[Tiger] is at times an immensely intimate portrait of a figure enveloped by the pull and tug of celebrity hero worship, and a culture that projects what it wants from its heroes onto them.”
- Lex Pryor, The Ringer
