He didn't invent golf. He revolutionized it.

Tommy's Honour is based on the intimate and powerfully moving true story of the challenging relationship between ‘Old’ Tom and ‘Young’ Tommy Morris, the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game of golf. As their fame and fortune grew exponentially, Scotland's Golf Royalty were touched by deep drama and personal tragedy. Matching his father's success by winning his first of four Opens at the age of 17, Tommy's flamboyance and fame outshine Tom's stellar playing record and respect as founder of the first Open Championship in 1860. Although their personal relationship is deeply strained by Young Tommy's ambition and drive, their professional relationship is triumphant front-page news. In stark contrast to his carefree public person, Tommy is embroiled in personal turmoil which ultimately leads him to rebel against both the aristocracy who gave him opportunity and his parent's disdain over his passionate, yet tragic, relationship with his wife Meg.

Critic Reviews

“Golf aficionados tend to appreciate tradition more than most, yet this biopic about a Scottish father-son duo that helped shape the sport's early days doesn't require putting proficiency to be enjoyed.”

“A rousing look back not at the early days of modern golf, but the origin of a heroic figure in sports.”
 – The Film Stage

“Unlike my golf game, Tommy's Honour makes par, but like my golf game, it remains an exercise in frustration that something more could've been made of it.”
