Obamas' Higher Ground Plans Tiger Woods Biopic for Amazon

Amazon MGM Studios is developing a biopic about Tiger Woods, based on Kevin Cook's book 'The Tiger Slam: The Inside Story of the Greatest Golf Ever Played'. The project is reportedly being produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, Higher Ground, and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for 'King Richard'. The film will focus on Woods' rise from child prodigy to a 15-time major champion, celebrating his achievements while deliberately avoiding the controversies and challenges that marked his later career. No timeline for the film's release has been established, and casting details remain undisclosed. This biopic aims to present a portrait of Woods that highlights his golfing legacy rather than the off-course dramas that have often overshadowed his narrative. Woods is currently recovering from surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon, which may affect his participation in upcoming tournaments.
