4 DAYS IN APRIL: THE MIKE WEIR STORY
Ten years ago this April, Brights Grove, Ont.-native Mike Weir reserved a spot on the Mount Rushmore of Canadian sports. Already the benchmark for Canadian golf, Weir rolled into Augusta National under the radar and left the hallowed grounds a national hero – becoming the first Canadian to wear the Green Jacket.
For the first time ever, the man responsible for one of the greatest chapters in Canadian sports history goes on the record to tell his story. Told by Weir, his rivals, contemporaries and those in his inner circle, 4 DAYS IN APRIL: THE MIKE WEIR STORY relives Weir’s dramatic journey to the putt that clinched the coveted Green Jacket and changed his life forever.
4 DAYS IN APRIL: THE MIKE WEIR STORY includes on-camera interviews with Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Gary Player, Nick Price, Sean O’Hair, Justin Rose, Hunter Mahan, Lorie Kane, Fred Couples, and Trevor Immelman.
