The teaser opens with a shot of Happy Gilmore’s bust placed among golf icons like Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus. This solidifies Happy’s legacy in the golf world, but in true Happy fashion, he can’t help but roast it.

Familiar Faces Are Back
Fans of the original movie will be thrilled to see some legendary returning characters, including:
- Virginia Venit (Julie Bowen) – Happy’s former love interest is back, and her line in the trailer, “You’re not done with golf. I can see the Happy I fell in love with,” hints at a personal redemption arc.
- Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) – The ultimate golf villain is still up to his old tricks, and you can bet their rivalry is far from over.
These returns are sure to fuel the nostalgia train all the way to the 18th hole.
Ben Stiller’s Cameo: A Sneaky Throwback
Blink and you might miss Ben Stiller’s brief cameo in the teaser. Stiller’s past collaboration with Sandler in Happy Gilmore and Hubie Halloween has sparked speculation about whether he’s reprising his role from the original film. If so, that would be a major treat for longtime fans!

Celebrity Cameos Galore
The trailer also introduces real-life sports figures and some unexpected A-listers:
- Pro Golfers: Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, and Bryson DeChambeau
- NFL Superstar: Travis Kelce
- Music Icon: Bad Bunny
This blend of talent adds a fresh element to Happy Gilmore 2, merging real-world sports with Sandler’s signature comedy.
Paige Spiranac’s Surprise Appearance
One of the biggest cameos in the teaser? Golf influencer Paige Spiranac.
In her scene, Happy tries his luck on a virtual golf course, only to smash the screen in frustration. The moment is both a nod to the evolution of golf technology and classic Happy Gilmore chaos.
Spiranac’s presence bridges the gap between traditional golf and today’s online sports culture, making this a fun, modern update.
A Subtle Nod to The Waterboy
Longtime Sandler fans will notice a sneaky tribute to another Sandler classic, The Waterboy.
Blake Clark, who played Farmer Fran in the 1998 film, appears in a scene striking a familiar pose. While it’s unclear if he’s actually playing Farmer Fran, the resemblance is enough to make fans speculate.
This could be yet another piece of evidence that the “Sandlerverse” is real.
Classic Gags with a Modern Twist
One standout scene in the teaser shows Happy trying out a virtual golf simulator. Predictably, things go horribly wrong as he loses his temper and destroys the screen.
This moment mirrors the wild energy of his original golf debut, proving that while times have changed, Happy’s temper certainly hasn’t.

Shooter McGavin’s Antics Continue
Shooter McGavin, played by Christopher McDonald, makes a brief but smug appearance in the teaser. His classic arrogance suggests that he still hasn’t learned his lesson, and we can expect his rivalry with Happy to be as fiery as ever.
A Sentimental Moment
Amid all the chaos and comedy, the teaser hints at a more emotional storyline. Virginia tells Happy:
“You’re not done with golf. I can see the Happy I fell in love with.”
This suggests that Happy will face a personal journey, balancing his signature antics with some heartfelt moments.
Conclusion: A Promising Return for Happy Gilmore
The Happy Gilmore 2 teaser is a perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh surprises. With beloved characters returning, hilarious cameos, and hints of a deeper story, this sequel looks ready to bring the laughs and the feels.
