Pavin is a Republican. During the [[1993 Ryder Cup]], Pavin was originally unwilling to meet with president [[Bill Clinton]] before the cup owing to their differing political views. Pavin stated that he had voted for Bush, and so was not particularly excited at the prospect of meeting Clinton.<ref>{{cite news |last=Guest |first=Larry |date=June 19, 1993 |title=Golfers Don't Go Gaga Over White House Trip |newspaper=Orlando Sentinel |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1993/06/19/golfers-dont-go-gaga-over-white-house-trip/}}</ref>

Pavin made a cameo appearance playing himself in the 1996 movie ''[[Tin Cup]]'' starring [[Kevin Costner]]. In the movie, Pavin tells [[Fred Couples]], "It's hard to believe that a guy named 'Tin Cup' might have his name beneath mine on the trophy."
