And Happy Gilmore 2‘s newest teaser trailer shows that his fictional counterpart has been away from the game for a long time, too. How will this legendary big swinger compete with a new generation of players who can also hit the ball very far? By finding a new “happy place” to find some peace.
Golf’s greatest rage monster is back to turn the tee box into a launching pad. That’s true of both Happy Gilmore, the movie franchise, and Happy Gilmore, the fictional golfer. Netflix’s latest look at Happy Gilmore 2 finally provides a little more context to a movie that still doesn’t have an official synopsis. It reveals that after an historic career Happy is returning to the Tour in this sequel movie. Why did he retire in the first place? What is making him dust off his Bruins sweater? We don’t exactly know just yet, but we know Benito “Bad Bunny” Antonio Martínez Ocasio will serve as his very angry caddy.
We also know original stars Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Stiller are also returning in Happy Gilmore 2. As is original Happy Gilmore co-writer Tim Herlihy who penned the script, directed by newcomers Kyle Newacheck (Murder Mystery).
Other additions to the series include Blake Clark, Sadie and Sunny Sandler, and Travis Kelce. The Happy Gilmore sequel movie will also feature a whole bunch of real professional golfers . John Daly, Paige Spiranac, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and Will Zalatoris will all make cameos in the film.
With all of that competition, it’s going to be hard for Happy Gilmore to find his “happy place.” But fans who love the original film know exactly how and when they’ll find theirs. Happy Gilmore 2 tees off at Netflix on July 25, 2025.

Steelers receive massive Aaron Rodgers injury update ahead of Bears game
On Monday, former NFL quarterback and current analyst Matt Hasselbeck insisted that Pittsburgh Steelers starter Aaron Rodgers could play with a small fracture in his left (non-throwing) wrist as long as Rodgers wouldn't need surgery to repair the issue. It seems Rodgers and the Steelers received a positive update regarding his health. Is Aaron Rodgers on track to start for Steelers at Bears? Late Tuesday morning, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport reported that Rodgers "will not need to undergo surgery to repair his fractured left wrist." Pelissero and Rapoport added that Rodgers "currently is pushing to" start for the 6-4 Steelers at the 7-3 Chicago Bears this coming Sunday but "will need clearance from doctors to be able to play." Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports shared that whether or not Rodgers will play against the Bears "will depend on [his] ability to take snaps under center and grip ability." "Really, it’s just about bracing it and securing it for his comfort and safety," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said about Rodgers' wrist while speaking with reporters on Tuesday afternoon, per Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. "And then it’s about how functional he is." Rodgers suffered his latest injury during Pittsburgh's 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals this past Sunday. Backup Mason Rudolph completed 12-of-16 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown in the relief appearance. "I can’t say enough about Mason Rudolph," Tomlin said during his media availability on Tuesday. "Although we’re used to it, it’s appreciated. He’s proven over his time here, he’s capable of coming in and playing winning football for us." Why Aaron Rodgers may be hyped to face Bears Rodgers famously featured for the Green Bay Packers from 2005 through the 2022 season and has a long history of tormenting Chicago fans. Per NBC Chicago, he has accumulated a career 24-5 record against the Bears. He passed for 64 touchdowns with 10 interceptions against Chicago as a member of the Packers. During the 2021 season, Rodgers trolled Chicago fans regarding his dominance of their beloved team. Shortly after the latest Rodgers update surfaced, ESPN BET had the Steelers as three-point road underdogs against the Bears.
CFP rankings: SEC in great shape after third reveal
The third College Football Playoff rankings of the 2025 season were released on Tuesday night with Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A M, Georgia and Texas Tech making up the top five. The Bulldogs and Red Raiders each move up one spot with Alabama falling down to 10th after a 23-21 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday. Ole Miss, Oregon, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Alabama round out the top 10. The Big Ten and SEC continue their dominance by claiming eight of the top-10 spots, but the SEC looks to be in the best position of any league with five teams in the top 10, even with Alabama's second loss of the season. Alabama clings to playoff spot as SEC's outlook only grows stronger Here is a look at what the 12-team bracket would look like as of Tuesday: The biggest takeaway from this week's rankings is the position the SEC finds itself in. Texas A M, Georgia and Ole Miss appear to be in excellent shape, while Oklahoma and Alabama still find themselves in the projected field. Texas was the biggest loser, falling seven spots to No. 17 after its loss to Georgia. Even for Alabama, which suffered its second loss on Saturday, it could still find itself in the SEC Championship game depending on how everything plays out over the final two weeks, which could only strengthen its case even more. Miami remains the highest-ranked ACC team at No. 13, ahead of No. 16 Georgia Tech and No. 19 Virginia. With the five highest-ranked conference champions guaranteed to make the 12-team field, Miami would inherit the 11-seed as things currently stand. Following South Florida's loss to Navy, Tulane moves up to No. 24 and the 12th-seed as the highest-ranked Group of Five team. No. 11 BYU would be the first team out following the third reveal. There are two ranked matchups this weekend as No. 8 Oklahoma hosts No. 22 Missouri and No. 15 USC takes on No. 7 Oregon. With only two weeks of regular-season play remaining, time is running out to add quality wins to resumes, something each of these two games will certainly do. Assuming there are no more hiccups, the SEC has a realistic shot at getting five teams in the field. Week 12 presented an opportunity for other teams to move up, but after Texas A M completed its remarkable comeback over South Carolina and with Alabama remaining in the top 10, that does not bode well for the rest of the field.
Steelers work out two QBs amid Aaron Rodgers injury
With Aaron Rodgers dealing with a left wrist injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers worked out veteran quarterbacks Jason Bean and Tanner Mordecai on Tuesday, per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. The Steelers currently have three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster and zero on their practice squad. Backup Mason Rudolph, and third-stringer Will Howard will both move up a spot on the depth chart for at least a week, leaving the Steelers without a third option should either of them get injured. Bean, 26, signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Kansas in 2024. He did not make the 53-man roster, but stuck around on the practice squad for the entire season. He was waived during final roster cuts this year and did not draw practice squad interest from the Colts or any other team. Mordecai is also a 26-year-old who entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie in 2024. Mordecai finished his college career at Wisconsin and signed with the 49ers last spring. He spent the season on San Francisco’s practice squad and was repeatedly cut and re-signed during training camp as the team balanced their other roster needs. He was waived due to injury a final time during roster cuts. The Steelers did not sign Bean or Mordecai, though that could be coming in the next few days as they continue to assess Rodgers’ wrist. They could also work out other available quarterbacks later this week.

LeBron James' admission about his role with the Lakers shows it's the beginning of the end
LeBron James has yet to play a single minute this season, and the Los Angeles Lakers are 10-4 and in fourth place in the stacked Western Conference. Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic are combining to average roughly 62 points and 17 assists per game, and the offense is finding its groove. That's why there are some legitimate concerns about how James' return might affect this team's chemistry. When asked about that, James claimed that he would adapt to anything the team needs from him. LeBron James just wants to hoop “Don’t matter. I’ve never had a position. There’s not one team, one club, in the world that I can’t fit in and play for. I can do everything on the floor,” James told the media, per Jovan Buha. This might sound like something positive, but it's also an indication of what's to come. James knows he's no longer the alpha dog on the roster, and he will have to adapt and adjust to the younger players to contribute to their championship aspirations. He's entering his 23rd season and has already missed time due to an injury that's rare among professional athletes, as sciatica injuries are relatively uncommon among young people. The writing is already on the wall, and all signs point to this being the end of the road for the four-time NBA champion. He's not likely to play back-to-backs, and he might have to settle for an off-the-ball role for the first time in his career. It was an incredible ride, and he's certainly earned the right to walk into the sunset on his own terms. At least his team seems to be in good hands.
