Nearly three decades after Happy Gilmore first hit theaters, the beloved golf comedy is making a grand return—this time with even more star power.

Set to premiere on Netflix on July 25, 2025, the sequel brings back Adam Sandler as the hot-tempered, hockey-loving golfer, along with Christopher McDonald’s iconic villain, Shooter McGavin.

But the real game-changer? The film is packed with real-life golf legends, proving that Happy Gilmore has left a lasting mark on both movie history and the sport itself.

Pro Golfers Take Over the Sequel 🏌️‍♂️🏆

While the original Happy Gilmore had a handful of golf cameos, the sequel is raising the stakes with an impressive lineup of professional players. Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, John Daly, Jack Nicklaus, and Lee Trevino (who had a hilarious role in the first film) are all confirmed to appear.

One standout moment? Golfer Will Zalatoris, often compared to Happy’s caddie from the first movie, fully embraced the joke at the 2025 Valspar Championship, where his caddie wore a bib that read "Gilmore’s Caddie." It’s a testament to how deeply Happy Gilmore has influenced even the golf community itself.

There are even rumors that Tiger Woods might make a surprise appearance—making the list of cameos even more legendary.

A Sequel That Makes Sense for Happy’s Story 🏆🎬

In Happy Gilmore 2, Happy is no longer just an amateur golfer—he’s officially a legend. The trailer hints at this shift, showing his bust displayed alongside Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer.

The film’s storyline will likely center on Happy navigating his fame, interacting with modern-day PGA and LIV golfers, and delivering plenty of his signature outrageous antics.

It’s rare for a comedy sequel to feel necessary, but this one does—blending nostalgia with new faces while reinforcing Happy Gilmore’s lasting impact on golf and pop culture alike.

More Than Just a Golf Movie 🌟🎶

Aside from athletes, Happy Gilmore 2 is pulling in some big names, including Bad Bunny, Eminem, Travis Kelce, Margaret Qualley, Benny Safdie, and Ben Stiller, reprising his hilarious role as Hal L from the original.

With this mix of celebrities, golf pros, and Sandler’s signature humor, Happy Gilmore 2 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting sequels of the year.

Mark your calendar for July 25, 2025—because Happy is back, and he’s bringing the big swings with him! 🚀⛳🎬
