Episode 1976: Tiger Woods – His Accident, The Tiger Documentary, And The Question Of Just How Much Drama One Life Can Have

Fri 26th Feb 2021
Eoin, Ken, Murph, Lawrence Donegan

The news of Tiger Woods’ one-car crash which broke earlier this week was a reminder of his unrivalled cultural standing in world sport. He ended up suffering multiple leg fractures, but should in time make a full recovery – but does that recovery include golf?

 

The recent Tiger documentary might give some answers, and certainly adversity is not a stranger. We speak to author and journalist Lawrence Donegan about whether he will come back to the sport, what might drive him to return, and a startling last golfing stanza that Lawrence sees would be a fitting finale to a life almost unparalleled in its drama, pathos and epic scope.

 

We also get Frances Murphy’s guide to the sporting weekend, lotto heart-break, and we hear from the most hypocritical man in American sports history.
