The younger generation of PGA Tour golfers remember watching Happy Gilmore growing up. Now, with the highly anticipated sequel coming out, a stacked group of them will make cameos.

Netflix revealed which PGA Tour stars will star alongside Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore 2. Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas are among the group, as is Will Zalatoris – playing into the joke from golf fans that he was the caddie in the original film.

Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa and Tony Finau were also shown in the sneak peek released Wednesday. It’s safe to say, Sandler is pulling out all the stops as he revives the 1996 fan favorite.

Happy Gilmore 2 still doesn’t have an official release date, but it is due to come out on Netflix at some point in 2025. The anticipation is building, too. Sandler is notably returning, as is Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and Ben Stiller as Hal, the nursing home worker. Stiller was also in the sneak peek, talking with Thomas about his newfound love for Full Swing.

Travis Kelce will also be in ‘Happy Gilmore 2’

There will also be plenty of cameos, including one who will play in Super Bowl LIX this weekend. Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce appeared as a waiter at the country club in a teaser trailer, meaning he will also have a role in the film.

Sandler previously confirmed Kelce would have a role in the film. He star made quite the impression, as well.

“Travis, he mentioned it and so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said. “He’s going to come by and he’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy and funny, cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”

Kelce expressed interest in appearing in the film during his New Heights podcast alongside his brother, Jason. That apparently caught Sandler’s attention, and he made it into the teaser trailer on Wednesday.

“I didn’t even know there was a job opening for ‘Happy Gilmore 2,’ but if there is I’ll be a fu*king extra,” Kelce said. “Anything I can do to get around Happy Gilmore or an Adam Sandler film or set, count me in. Obviously been a huge fan of ‘the Sandman,’ but yes. This is exactly what it says it is: a conspiracy theory. “Who knows? Theories can come true. Theories can be true and just people don’t know about it. So, I might even be in the talking [for the film] and nobody knows about it. But I could also not be in the talking so.”
