Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen filming at the Tubac Golf Resort in the Arizona desert, the script called for a water hazard. Since there were none on the course the filmmakers built one and named it "Tin Cup Lake".
- GoofsOn the second hole of the final round, Roy bets Gary McCord he can hit it off the porta potty onto the green. His ball only gets to the fringe short of the green, but McCord pays anyway.

Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy: Sex and golf are the two things you don't have to be good at to enjoy
- Alternate versionsAt least one network television version adds a scene just before the U.S. Open, in which Roy and Romeo are almost kept from entering due to their shabby clothes and winnebago. David Simms then shows up, "heroically" points out that Roy's name is misspelled on the roster, and they all enter... but Roy's winnebago causes a considerable amount of (unintentional) property damage due to its height. But this makes Romeo's surprised observation in the next scene that David is present less understandable.

Featured review
Good golf fils
You have seen Kevin Costner in this type of role before, like Swing Vote or Field of Dreams. Yet he always seems to do it so well. He makes golf seem exciting and brings a good character to it, and plays for a rival's woman in the process. The story and golf scenes are good, and I liked watching Costner in them. It has a good supporting cast too. You can't go wrong with Costner!
