GOLF: Tiger film ready to air

Golf Channel was going to wait until a few hours after the Masters was over to show the latest project from its Golf Films unit called “Tiger Slam.” But it wasn’t going to wait until November. The timing turned out to be better.

The one-hour special, which chronicles Tiger Woods winning all four majors in a span of 294 days, will be shown two hours after Woods is seen in live competition for the first time in three months.

“Tiger Slam” is scheduled to air on May 24 after Woods and Peyton Manning face Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in a charity exhibition for COVID-19 relief efforts.
