Spoilers ahead
Roy ‘Tin Cup’ McAvoy, portrayed by Kevin Costner, is a once-promising golfer who now manages a rundown driving range in the small town of Salome, Texas, alongside his sidekick and caddy, Cheech Marin. Struggling with debt, Roy finds himself in a precarious situation where he must sign over ownership of his driving range to Madam Doreen, played by Linda Hart, to settle financial obligations.
Once a contender for professional success, Roy’s career took a nosedive when he attempted a risky shot during the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament, ultimately missing qualification by a mere stroke. Complicating matters further, his new golf pupil, Dr. Molly Griswold, a charming psychiatrist played by Rene Russo, is dating his former college rival, the slick and sarcastic PGA superstar Don Johnson.
