Tin Cup is a 1996 romantic comedy starring Kevin Costner and Rene Russo, with major supporting roles by Cheech Marin and Don Johnson.
The storyline focuses on the relationship that develops between two entirely opposite personalities. Costner plays golf driving range pro Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, a perenniel "frat boy" whose future does not seem to extend past his next beer. Russo portrays Dr. Molly Griswold, whose current "gig" is as a clinical psychologist in Salome, a back-water West Texas town where McAvoy's driving range is located. Molly comes to Roy for golf lessons because her boyfriend is a golfer. Roy is attracted to her, but she sees through his charming "crapola" and makes a show of resistance. However, in time, she falls for his uncomplicated and true heart.
Much of the film takes place at a fictional U.S. Open golf tournament. Several pro golfers make cameo appearances.
