The content was captured in February, the day before Tiger had his unfortunate car accident, from which he is still recovering. With this knowledge, the deep and poignant conversations will undoubtedly resonate even more strongly with viewers.

The series is being released with the full blessing of Tiger and his guests. Discovery and GOLFTV thank everyone for their involvement and wish Tiger a continued speedy recovery.

The three guests in the series include actress and talk show host Jada Pinkett Smith, 13-time NBA All Star Dwyane Wade, and actor and comedian David Spade, with a fourth and final episode featuring behind-the-scenes clips and outtakes from the filming.

Tiger’s guests for this series have all reached the pinnacle of success in their own fields, and their interactions with their host help showcase a different side of the 15-time major champion.

 

 

"Shooting this series was some of the most fun I’ve ever had filming on the golf course," said Woods.

"Each guest brought a unique perspective on life, both professionally and personally. I’m always inspired by others who are considered the best at what they do and learning about how they made it to the top. I was pleasantly surprised by Jada and David’s golf games, and Dwyane, who just picked up the game, made a lot of progress in the time we spent together.

"Each episode provides something that everyone can enjoy and learn from, so I’m happy to share these lessons and conversations with the world."

New episodes of A Round with Tiger: Celebrity Playing Lessons are set to be released weekly, with Tiger being joined by a new guest in each of the first three weeks and the series concluding with a Behind-The-Scenes episode. More details on each episode can be found below:
