Brooks Koepka Gets a Script Coach for His Happy Gilmore 2 Cameo
So, here’s something you don’t hear every day—a major golf champion like Brooks Koepka stepping off the green and into the world of Hollywood. Yep, Brooks made a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2 , the much-anticipated sequel to Adam Sandler’s legendary golf comedy. But here’s the twist: it wasn’t just a show-up-and-smile kind of deal. Koepka actually had to do some acting homework... and guess who his coach was? His wife, Jena Sims.
Now, Jena isn’t just anyone—she’s an actress and model with years of experience on sets, so she knows her way around a script. When Brooks landed the role, it was clear to both of them that he’d need a little help navigating the acting side of things. According to Jena, Brooks told her he felt like he was stepping into her world. She had to teach him how to read a script, find key points in it, and basically get comfortable with being in front of the camera instead of a crowd at the Masters. Pretty cool switch, right?

The film features a bunch of other golf pros too—Rory McIlroy, John Daly, Bryson DeChambeau—you name it. Most of them play versions of themselves, including Brooks, so it wasn’t about transforming into someone totally different. Still, it required a sense of timing, hitting your mark, and just being natural on screen. That’s where Jena came in, and apparently, she took her coaching duties seriously!
Interestingly, Jena herself had a role in the movie—and it was a total departure from her usual “golf wife in the background” vibe. She played a loud, attention-grabbing character in a comedic scene, which she absolutely loved. She joked about not being the “hot girl” this time and how much fun it was to actually act, instead of just being a victim in a horror flick. Comedy, she says, is where her passion really lies.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2022 and are raising their young son Crew, seem to be juggling their careers and parenthood like pros. Jena even hinted that they’re thinking about expanding their family soon, "God willing." And in classic Instagram fashion, she posted behind-the-scenes snaps with a cheeky caption about how hard it was to keep the whole thing a secret until release day.
So, if you’re tuning into Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix, keep an eye out for Koepka's cameo—and maybe give a little nod to Jena Sims, the real MVP behind his performance.
