By George Dickie Tiger Woods was the type of singular talent that was prepro- grammed for greatness seemingly from birth. He gripped a golf club at two months old, was hitting drives on "The Mike Douglas Show" at two years and was repeatedly told by his father Earl that through golf he could make a difference. And, of course, he did. His story is told in the two-part HBO Sports documentary "Tiger," airing consecutive Sundays, Jan. 10 and 17. Directed by Matthew Heineman ("The Trade") and Matthew Hamachek ("Meet the Patels"), the three-and-one-half- hour film follows the rise, fall and return to the game of the golf icon through never-before-seen footage and interviews with those who know him best, including former caddie Steve Williams, golf legend Nick Faldo, Earl Woods' biographer and close friend Pete McDaniel, Woods' first true love Dina Parr and Rachel Uchitel, the woman at the center of the sex scandal that would alter the course of Woods' life. Jeff Benedict and Armen Ketey - ian's book "Tiger Woods" served as a resource for the film, which was made without the participation of the Woods camp. Of course, the accolades on the links speak for themselves: 82 PGA Tour wins, 15 major champion- ships (including five Masters titles), 10-time PGA Tour top money winner, 11-time PGA Tour Player of the Year and a host of other lau- rels. And the driving force behind that success, at least at the outset, was Earl Woods. He was easily the biggest influ- ence of Tiger's childhood and young adulthood, putting all his resources into molding his son into a champion. The documentary details Earl's love of the game and how that was passed on to Tiger. But as Tiger's career took off and he matured as a man, he grew away from his father. Part of that was due to Earl's womanizing. One scene in the documentary tells of how he didn't bother to hide his indiscretions from his son, which disgusted Tiger. Of course, the apple didn't fall far from the tree and Tiger him- self had some very public carnal escapades. The film goes into his "unchained" behavior in Las Vegas and the relationships that resulted, as well as the dalliance that would eventually end his marriage to wife Elin Nordegren, with Rachel Uchi- tel, a New York nightclub manager, in 2009. Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop HBO's 'Tiger' a warts-and-all portrait of a golf great Cover Story Cover Story By Jay Bobbin When the Fox medical drama returns for its fourth season Tuesday, Jan. 12, it will resume in the early days of the coro- navirus pandemic. While the doctors suffer losses due to CO- VID-19, the series also advances its timeline relatively quickly, enabling hospital colleagues and longtime loves Conrad and Nic — played by Matt Czuchry and Emily VanCamp — to proceed with their wedding. "I think the right word for it is 'responsibility,' " says pleas - ant "Gilmore Girls" and "The Good Wife" alum Czuchry. "If we didn't address the pandemic, we would be irresponsible, We do that in Episode One, but it's equally important to note that Checking in with Matt Czuchry at the end of that episode, we're in a post-pandemic world, And that follows through in Episodes Two, Three and so forth. "Everyone is overwhelmed with the pandemic in their per - sonal lives, so if people are kind enough to spend their time with us, I hope it will be an escape," Czuchry reasons, noting that having the wedding as the coda to a COVID-intensive story is "the balance we've tried to strike. Everyone's struggling, but at the same time, we're hopeful that we're going to get through it and come out on the other side and find something better."
