Happy Gilmore 2 Release Date Revealed

After nearly 30 years of waiting, fans of the cult-classic golf comedy can finally tee off in excitement—Happy Gilmore 2 is officially hitting Netflix on July 25, 2025! Yes, Adam Sandler is back as the bad-tempered golfer who made hockey sticks on the green look cool. And after countless rumors and years of wishful thinking, it’s finally happening.

What to Expect from the Happy Gilmore Sequel

This time around, Sandler isn’t just bringing back his signature Timberlands and hockey jerseys. Christopher McDonald is reprising his role as Shooter McGavin, which means Gilmore’s iconic rivalry is far from over. Plus, Julie Bowen returns as Virginia Venit, alongside a cameo-filled cast featuring Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, Eminem, and even pro golfers like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.

Oh, and for those who can’t forget Ben Stiller’s sadistic retirement home manager Hal? You’re in luck—he’s back, moustache and all.

The Build-Up

Until now, Netflix has kept plot details under wraps, giving fans just a 45-second teaser trailer in December to chew on. While we know Gilmore’s feud with Shooter McGavin will escalate, and his romance with Venit is still going strong, the rest is still a mystery. Filming wrapped in December 2024, with Sandler teasing a potential July release, and lucky for us, that’s now a reality.

Fun fact? The sequel isn’t just a treat for golf comedy enthusiasts—it’s also linked to Netflix’s hit golf docuseries Full Swing, with cameos galore from professional golfers. Expect some crossover buzz when season three of Full Swing drops, featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Happy Gilmore 2.

Mark Your Calendars

Happy Gilmore 2 isn’t just a sequel; it’s a chance to relive the humor that made the original a fan favorite—and maybe discover a hole-in-one or two of its own. Flip those hockey sticks into putters and get ready. July 25 can’t come fast enough!
