Theatrical release: November 3, 2000

Filmed in Georgia and South Carolina.

Professional Golfers' Association master professional Tim Ross served as the film's technical adviser, and taught novice Damon how to play.

While practicing, Damon swung the club so hard that he separated his ribs.

According to the author of THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE, Steven Pressfield, the character of Bagger Vance and his story are based on the Hindu epic and scriptural poem, the Bhagavad-Gita, in which, Bhagavan is the "Supreme Personality" who teaches his follower, Arjuna, about life.

Jeff Strickler of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune named THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE one of the 10 best films of 2000.
