Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Drops First Trailer Nearly 30 Years After Original

Adam Sandler got everyone’s attention when he dropped the official trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2” nearly 30 years since the original movie hit the big screen.

In a viral post on Tuesday on X, the 58-year-old actor wrote, “Hope you all have fun and thanks for all the great times.”

His post included a one-minute-plus clip giving fans a sneak peak at what they could expect when the sequel hits Netflix July 25, when he reprises the role of the unlikely golfer Happy Gilmore.

In the trailer, we see his character clearly hesitant about facing off against a handful of PGA greats, saying he “hasn’t swung a club in years.” However, he finally decides to find a “new happy place” and head back to the golf course. And, as expected, all kinds of chaos is about to happen.

Fans have been waiting a long time for a sequel to Sandler’s hilarious 1996 golf comedy, in which he played a hockey player turned golfer to save his grandmother’s home.

Several original movie stars are returning for the sequel, including Christopher McDonald as rival golfer Shooter McGavin, and Julie Bowen, who plays Gilmore’s love interest.

The news comes after Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce dropped a teaser trailer in December in which he made a brief appearance in Sandler’s highly-anticipated “Happy Gilmore 2.”

In the clip Kelce posted to Instagram, the Chiefs star told Sandler’s character in the trailer, “It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore!”

He captioned the post, “It’s great to see you back in 2025, Mr. Gilmore! Wishing everyone a HAPPY New Year with HAPPY GILMORE 2, coming to @netflix in the new year.”

Kelce’s involvement in the film comes after the Chiefs tight end made it clear on a past episode of his “New Heights” podcast that he was a “Happy Gilmore” fan, and if there were a sequel in the works, he would love to be part of it.

Sandler later appeared on the Kelce brothers’ podcast and hinted at the role the Chiefs star player would have in the movie.

“Travis, we’re gonna have fun because the scene you’re doing is with so many great golfers it’s going to be amazing. You’re going to be funny as hell,” the famed actor said, ABC News noted.
