Happy Gilmore wanted to be a hockey player. He only got into golf because he had to. It offered him a chance to make “the big bucks,” which he needed to save his grandma’s house. He ended up doing a lot more than that, though. Ultimately he won the Tour Championship and sent Shooter McGavin running for his life. So what will make golf’s longest hitting, most vulgar player return to the links in Happy Gilmore 2? The newest trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 reveals that some things never change. Happy needs golf back in his life because he once again needs money for a loved one.
This latest look at Happy Gilmore 2 came during Netflix’s 2025 TUDUM event and this trailer feels at best familiar and at worst repetitive. There are some real The Hangover Part II vibes here with all of the many callbacks, characters, and gags that are straight out of the first film.
But there’s also some intrigue. What exactly caused Happy to lose his swing, which forced him to walk away from the game that made him famous? What went wrong and for how long? And how exactly will he get back to his old form? If this movie leans into it’s new elements more than its old ones it should still be a lot of fun.
The cast certainly is a lot if fun. Adam Sandler will have plenty of old and new faces alongside him when he returns to the course. Happy Gilmore 2 features original stars Julie Bowen, Chris McDonald, Kevin Nealon, and Ben Stiller.
The rest of the cast is overflowing with famous actors, comedians, celebs, golfers, professional wrestlers, sports commentators, and more. That includes: Benny Safdie, Benito Antonio Martnez Ocasio, John Daly, Haley Joel Osment, Jackie Sandler, Sadie Sandler, Sunny Sandler, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Philip Schneider, Ethan Cutkosky, Conor Sherry, ,Lavell Crawford, Kym Whitley, John Farley, Eric Andr, Martin Herlihy, Margaret Qualley, Keegan Bradley, Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Jack Nicklaus, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson, Will Zalatoris, Verne Lundquist, Austin Post, Marcello Hernandez, Travis Kelce, Eminem, Blake Clark, Oliver Hudson, Reggie Bush, Nikki Garcia, Becky Lynch, Tim Herlihy, Nelly Korda, Nancy Lopez, Boban Mfarjanovic, Paige Spiranac, Dan Patrick, Stephen A. Smith, Ken Jennings, Cam’ron, and Scott Mescudi.
That cast should make every sports and movie fan happy. And hopefully it will when Happy Gilmore 2 tees off at Netflix on July 25, 2025.
