Tiger Woods has always been a figure surrounded by myth and headlines as a child prodigy turned record-setting golfing legend, whose swings resonate as much in trophy rooms as in tabloid headlines. His tale of glory, scandal, and redemption cries out to be retold through the lens. With several projects already in his rearview, it is natural to wonder which documentary on Tiger Woods is available to stream right away.

When golf meets the grim realities, Tiger Woods' story takes center screen.

Browsing the documentary catalog of Netflix US, one stands out, The Tiger Woods Story, a Daytime Emmy-nominated film directed by LeVar Burton that tracks his early career's ascent under his father's guidance and the private price of fame. However, it was only available to stream on Netflix until 2015, while it might still be available in some regions. Outside of Netflix, there is a highly acclaimed documentary titled Tiger (2021) available on HBO in the US and Prime Video in other regions.

While rumors have been running amok on social media sites like Facebook with posts claiming that Netflix dropped a two-miпυte preview of a new Tiger Woods docυmeпtary in the making, nothing has been confirmed. Though the sports world is buzzing in anticipation for yet another iпtimate look at the golf legeпd’s legacy and life rife with redemption and vulnerability, viewers might just have to resort to what already exists.

Tiger Woods' HBO documentary captures not only Woods' rise, but also the aftermath of his public scandals and his post-scandals redemptive efforts, beyond his best interests.

The HBO version of Tiger is an in-depth exploration of Tiger Woods' life, directed by Matthew Heineman and Matthew Hamachek, based on the 2018 biography Tiger Woods. It includes interviews with those around him, such as his old caddie Steve Williams, former romances, his public image, and how he reacted to personal setbacks, examining Woods' rise, fall, and return to the golf world. 

Tiger, with just 2 episodes documenting Woods' story, elicited its fair share of controversy. Some reports from PEOPLE indicated that Woods himself was "not thrilled" with the way it looks back at his years of scandal, digging up his harrowing memories. Nevertheless, critics pointed out its ambitious attempts to consider Woods not just an athlete, but a cultural figure struggling with identity, forgiveness, and fame. Though Netflix US does not host any Tiger Woods documentary in its rich sports catalog, HBO's Tiger remains a significant chapter of his life and complex legacy.
