Happy Gilmore 2 Premiere Unites Golf Legends, Celebs, and Big Surprises
So, let me tell you about one of the most unexpectedly epic events that just went down in New York City — the world premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 . Yep, you heard that right. After nearly 30 years, Adam Sandler is back as the wild-swinging, hockey-loving golf misfit we all know and love, and the red carpet rollout at Lincoln Center was nothing short of star-studded chaos in the best way possible.
This wasn't just your average movie premiere. It was a full-on fusion of PGA TOUR royalty and Hollywood glitz. We're talking major golf names like Scottie Scheffler, Tony Finau, Collin Morikawa, and Will Zalatoris rubbing shoulders with Sandler himself, plus stars like Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald (yes, Shooter’s back!), Benny Safdie, and Haley Joel Osment. And the cameos? Insane. Golf legends John Daly, Lee Trevino, and Jim Furyk all made appearances, blending nostalgia with real-life sports greatness.
Scottie Scheffler, fresh off his second major win this year, summed it up perfectly on the carpet. He said, “Everybody knows what the Happy Gilmore swing is. Everybody tries to enact it when they’re young. It’s a part of golf culture for sure.” That says it all, right? This film isn’t just a comedy sequel — it’s a tribute to golf's place in pop culture.

Then there was Tony Finau, who spoke about his surreal experience being part of the film. He literally said it was “not even a dream come true because I didn’t even dream that something like this could happen.” I mean, imagine growing up watching Happy Gilmore and then suddenly finding yourself in the sequel? Wild.
Sandler came out with his signature goofy charm, rocking the vibe as only he can. The energy was through the roof, helped along by celebrity appearances from social media stars like Paige Spiranac and Alix Earle, and late-night host Jimmy Fallon — who got a surprise visit from Scheffler and the claret jug live on The Tonight Show .
Now, for those wondering why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce weren’t there — especially since Kelce actually has a role in the movie — it’s simple. Travis reported for Chiefs training camp the same day. Duty calls! But Kelce has said working with Sandler was a dream come true, calling him the “Andy Reid of acting,” which, if you follow football, you know is the ultimate compliment.
Happy Gilmore 2 officially drops on Netflix on July 25, and whether you’re a golf fan, a comedy buff, or just someone who loves a good nostalgia trip, you’ll want to check it out. From the cameos to the chaos, this premiere set the tone for what looks like a sequel that actually lives up to the original’s legacy.
