ESPN to Air Tiger Woods Documentary On Thanksgiving Weekend
Tiger Woods documentary overload?
A week after HBO Max announced a new documentary, ESPN unveiled that they also will be airing a Tiger Woods documentary next week.
The hour-long documentary, “Tiger Woods: America’s Son,” will air over Thanksgiving Weekend on November 29.
“Throughout this hour we hope that viewers see Tiger Woods in a new light and be challenged to think about what it is that makes him uniquely American. In many ways, Tiger’s story shows us that there is no single experience in America,” said Craig Lazarus, vice president of content and features for ESPN, in a press release.
The project is led by Sports Emmy Award winner Lauren Stowell.
It will air at 7 p.m. on ESPN and the ESPN App.
