HBO will air the documentary later this year,
journalist Armen Keteyian told the Burst Your Bubble podcast.
Keteyian was the co-author of the best-selling 2018 biography of
Woods.
Per Golf.com, Keteyian said the Woods docuseries will be four
hours, spread over two episodes. Matthew Hamachek and Matthew
Heineman are the project's principal directors, and Keteyian and
Jeff Benedict, his co-author, are executive producers.
"I can tell you that it's scheduled to come out in the fall," he
said on the podcast. "Don't be surprised if it airs right around
the Masters in November. If you are HBO, that's the smartest and
best place to do it. I can tell you this, I have seen it now
several times, including this morning when I watched the final
two hours. It's a fabulous job."
The Woods profile follows "The Last Dance," a 10-part series
documenting the final season of Michael Jordan's tenure with the
Chicago Bulls that concluded this month on ESPN.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and ESPN announced
last week that the network will air a nine-part documentary
series in 2021 focusing on Brady's nine Super Bowl appearances.
A camera crew followed Kobe Bryant in his final season with the
Los Angeles Lakers in 2015-16, filming him and teammates in
locker rooms on the road and at home, in the training room, at
practice and on the team plane.
The videos have started to be edited for a future documentary,
and Bryant reviewed the work in progress and gave his input
before his death in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26.
