NEW YORK CITY, JULY 22, 2025 (excerpted from PGA TOUR and Netflix coverage)
Netflix rolled out the red carpet Monday, July 21st at Lincoln Center for the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, bringing together cast members, celebrities, and PGA TOUR stars to celebrate Adam Sandler’s return as one of his most iconic characters.
“Everybody knows what the Happy Gilmore swing is,” said Scottie Scheffler in an interview with PGA TOUR. “Everybody tries to enact it when they’re young. It’s a part of golf culture for sure.”
The film features returning cast members Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, alongside new additions like Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio and Haley Joel Osment. Golf legends including John Daly, Lee Trevino, and Jim Furyk made cameo appearances, joined by current TOUR stars like Scheffler, Tony Finau, and Collin Morikawa.
Sandler’s sequel revisits the irreverent humor of the 1996 original, while introducing a new generation to the character of Happy Gilmore and his rival Shooter McGavin. Scheffler also appeared later on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, surprising the host with the claret jug.
The film was set for release on Netflix on July 25th.
