Here’s Every Star, Celebrity And Athlete Cameo

Happy Gilmore 2 arrives on Netflix tomorrow, July 25. The sequel features both returning and new stars from the beloved 1996 golf comedy, along with more than two dozen celebrity cameos, including professional golfers, hip-hop legends, NFL players, WWE stars and more.

Nearly three decades later, Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, the short-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer. In the original film, Gilmore enters a series of tournaments to save his grandmother’s house from foreclosure. The movie ends with Gilmore winning the Tour Championship and reclaiming his grandmother’s home.

In the Netflix sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind following a tragic accident. But when he needs $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a ballet school in Paris, he returns to the sport in hopes of raising the money.

“Happy Gilmore isn’t done with golf — not by a long shot,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Adam Sandler’s short-fused legend swings for a comeback to make his kid’s dream come true.” Sandler told Good Morning America that his character’s “life isn’t perfect right now” — at least “at the beginning of the movie.” He continued, “And he’s a family man, and he’s gettin’ back into the golf game.”

In addition to Sandler, the 2025 film also sees the return of several familiar faces, including Julie Bowen as Happy’s love interest, Virginia Venit; Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Happy’s arrogant nemesis; and Ben Stiller as Hal L., the orderly from Happy’s grandmother’s nursing home. Unfortunately, Carl Weathers was set to reprise his role as Derick “Chubbs” Peterson before he passed away in February 2024.

Of course, no Sandler movie is complete without his family. The actor’s real-life daughter, Sunny Sandler, plays Gilmore’s daughter, Vienna. His wife, Jackie Sandler, and elder daughter, Sadie, also appear in the sports comedy.

Read on for a full breakdown of the Happy Gilmore 2 cast, from returning fan favorites to all the exciting cameos.
