The phenomenon that is Tiger Woods is examined and celebrated in this three-disc set, which includes a generous amount of golf footage as well as a substantial biography of the man and (perhaps prematurely) an appraisal of his place in sports history. Disc one, "Tiger's Prowl," tells us how Woods acquired the name "Tiger" (from one of his dad's buddies), points out that he played multiple sports as a kid before focusing (at his mother's urging) on golf, discusses early encounters with racism, and looks at his amateur victories on the links. Disc two, "Tiger's Prey," covers his first major win at the 1997 Masters, the PGA in 1999, the U.S. Open in 2002, and beyond. Of course, there's no dodging the question of Woods' struggles in the last couple of years, and he openly talks about the fact that he hasn't won a major tournament for some time. Disc three, "Tiger's Prints," explores Woods' physical and mental gifts, and his impact on the sport and marketing, as well as the high expectations he has to live up to (a cute section on Woods' version of trash talk includes anecdotes told by Ken Griffey Jr., Wayne Gretzky, and other non-golf superstars). DVD extras spread over the three discs include a montage of Woods' greatest shots, a 24-minute clinic in which he demonstrates his best moves, extended interviews, and a selection of his American Express spots. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
