Tiger Woods Biopic in Development with Obamas' Higher Ground

Amazon MGM Studios secures rights to 'The Tiger Slam,' with Reinaldo Marcus Green in talks to direct and the Obamas negotiating to produce.

Amazon MGM Studios has acquired the film rights to Kevin Cook's book 'The Tiger Slam,' chronicling Tiger Woods' historic achievement of winning four consecutive major golf tournaments from 2000 to 2001.
Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, Higher Ground, is in discussions to produce the biopic, continuing their involvement in sports and cultural storytelling projects.
Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for directing 'King Richard,' is being considered to helm the film, which will focus on Woods' rise to becoming a golf legend.
The film will not address Woods' later personal scandals or injuries, instead spotlighting his early career and groundbreaking accomplishments in the sport.
Woods, currently recovering from Achilles tendon surgery, faces a challenging path to return to professional golf, with experts and peers suggesting a potential comeback in 2026.
