Oldcorn was born in Bolton, Lancashire, England. He was raised in Edinburgh, and represents Scotland. He represented England as an amateur and won the English Amateur in 1982, turning professional after playing for Great Britain & Ireland in the 1983 Walker Cup.

Oldcorn was medalist at the European Tour final Qualifying School in 1983. He had a steady start to his career on tour before being struck down with ME (also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) in the early 1990s.{{cite journal |url=http://www.thepsychologist.org.uk/archive/archive_home.cfm/volumeID_11-editionID_63-ArticleID_257-getfile_getPDF/thepsychologist%5Ccfs.pdf |title=CFS: A suitable case for treatment |date=1 May 1998 |pages=223–6 |volume=11 |issue=5 |last=Spencer |first=P |access-date=16 May 2012}}{{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/players/playerid=143/bio/index.html |title=European Tour biography |publisher=PGA European Tour |access-date=22 August 2013}} He returned to form in 1993, to claim his first tour victory in the Turespana Masters Open de Andalucia. Away from the tour he also won the Sunderland of Scotland Masters. Several solid years followed along with another title, the 1995 DHL Jersey Open. The undoubted highlight of his career came in 2001 when he became the oldest winner in the history of the Volvo PGA Championship (although Miguel Ángel Jiménez would later beat that record).{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/oldcorn-trades-rags-for-riches-in-inspiring-win-686309.html |title=Oldcorn trades rags for riches in inspiring win |newspaper=The Independent |date=29 May 2001 |location=London |first=Andy |last=Farrell |access-date=17 July 2009}}{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} He finished that season a career best 26th place on the European Tour Order of Merit.
