Tiger Woods Biopic Enters Development at Amazon MGM with Higher Ground Producing​

Amazon MGM Studios has officially entered development on a biographical feature chronicling the extraordinary life and career of golf icon Tiger Woods. The film will be directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for his work on King Richard, and is based on Kevin Cook’s book The Tiger Slam: The Inside Story of the Greatest Golf Ever Played.

The story will center around Woods’ historic achievement of winning four consecutive major championships between 2000 and 2001—a run that remains one of the most remarkable feats in modern sports. The film aims to go beyond the golf course, offering a rich and layered portrait of a man who forever changed the face of the sport.

The project is being produced by Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama, in collaboration with veteran producer Irwin Winkler, whose portfolio includes the Rocky and Creed franchises. Together, they aim to present a compelling, honest, and inspirational look at Woods’ rise from prodigy to global icon.

The narrative will explore Tiger’s early years, his relationship with his father and coach Earl Woods, and the intense discipline that defined his path. While the biopic will spotlight key competitive moments, it will also highlight the emotional and psychological aspects of his journey—making it as much a character study as it is a sports drama.

As the project moves into pre-production, a wide range of opportunities is expected across casting, cinematography, art direction, costume, and post-production. With the backing of two powerhouse studios and a high-caliber creative team, this production is shaping up to be one of the most sought-after projects currently in development.
