Product Description: Everyone starts somewhere, even the greatest golfer in the world. Of course, Tiger Woods's start came much earlier than most of us. From his initial time on the greens as an 18-month-old, his appearance as a 2-year-old on The Mike Douglas Show (with Bob Hope!), and his 30 junior tournament wins, Heart of a Champion traces the beginnings of this champion player. This 40-minute video recounts Woods's short but illustrious career, including his many victories as an amateur and his historic victory at the Masters in 1997. Woods's coach at Stanford University, Wally Goodwin, and his professional coach, Butch Harmon, as well as several of his peers (including Jack Nicklaus and Ben Crenshaw) analyze Woods's game, and the '97 Masters is discussed, not just for the dominating victory it was, but for what it meant for a person of color to win in what has traditionally been a country-club sport. Other highlights of Woods's professional career are covered in this 1998 video (which obviously doesn't cover his major victories in 1999 and 2000). This video is "not authorized or endorsed by Tiger Woods," so there are relatively few comments from Woods himself; those included appear to be from press conferences. Still, someone had to authorize all the choice footage used here--perhaps his mother, Kultida, who makes a few on-camera comments. So even if this isn't the "official" word on Tiger Woods and the production values may not be lavish, if you want to see some good footage of a champion in the making, Heart of a Champion will fill the bill. --David Horiuchi
