Happy Gilmore 2 Swings Big with a Star-Studded Sports Cameo Extravaganza
So, if you haven’t already heard, Happy Gilmore 2 just dropped on Netflix, and let me tell you—it’s an absolute par-tee . After nearly three decades, Adam Sandler’s iconic golf comedy is back, and this time around, it's packed with cameos from some of the biggest names in sports. Like, you almost need a scorecard just to keep track of everyone who pops up!
Right off the bat, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is in it—but not as an athlete. Nope, he’s actually playing a waiter. It’s a small role, but apparently, he crushed it. Sandler himself has said in interviews that Kelce nailed the part. And yes, Taylor Swift reportedly approves. His brother Jason Kelce also makes a quick appearance, as if the NFL needed more representation.
Then there’s Dan Patrick , the sports talk legend, doing what he does best—hosting a fictional version of his real-life show. Classic meta move. And speaking of legends, Verne Lundquist , the golf broadcaster we all know and love from CBS, returns to voice a few lines just like he did in the original. This time, it’s especially touching because Lundquist retired in 2024 after 40 years covering The Masters.

Stephen A. Smith also shows up as, well, himself. Love him or not, you can bet his scene brings the same loud, animated energy he’s known for on ESPN. And let’s not forget Boban Marjanovic —the gentle giant of the NBA—who left for Turkey’s Fenerbahçe last year. He gets a fun little acting moment, which totally fits the film’s wacky tone.
On the WNBA side, Kelsey Plum from the L.A. Sparks shines with some solid screen time. She's no stranger to the spotlight, being a two-time champ and four-time All-Star. More recently, she's known for throwing some hilarious shade at Caitlin Clark, so clearly she’s got the comic timing for this.
And for golf fans— wow . You get everyone from Nelly Korda , Paige Spiranac , and John Daly to Jack Nicklaus , Fred Couples , and Scottie Scheffler . Seriously, the golf world showed up. Daly being in it just makes perfect sense—his rebel spirit matches the tone of the movie perfectly.
In short, Happy Gilmore 2 isn’t just a nostalgic sequel—it’s a full-blown sports celebrity showcase. Even if the plot’s a bit of a mystery (no spoilers here!), the cast alone is worth tuning in for. Whether you're a die-hard sports nut or just a casual movie fan, this sequel swings for the fences—and mostly lands right on the green.
