Netflix is officially bringing Happy Gilmore back into the swing of things—and fans are already pumped. With the sequel Happy Gilmore 2 set to premiere on July 25, Netflix’s Tudum event gave audiences their first real taste of what’s to come.

Fans can see Travis Kelce in 'Happy Gilmore 2' trailer

Adam Sandler, now 58, reunited with longtime co-stars Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald at the Netflix Tudum presentation, where the trailer dropped to roaring fanfare. Sports commentator Rich Eisen introduced the trio, while the younger cast—including Sandler’s real-life daughter Sadie—joked, “Is there actually anyone under 60 in this movie?” That lighthearted jab set the tone for what promises to be a nostalgic yet hilariously chaotic sequel.The trailer opens with a washed-up Happy struggling to regain his mojo on the golf course. One rival even scoffs, “Happy Gilmore sucks now?” before Sandler fires back in true Happy style, “Eat a bag of d**ks!” It’s clear that Happy’s still got that unfiltered edge—even if his swing isn’t what it used to be.

The heart of the story? A father doing whatever it takes to support his daughter’s dreams. When Sadie’s character aspires to attend ballet school, Happy and his wife Virginia (Bowen) realize they can’t afford the tuition unless Happy returns to the game he thought he left behind.

What follows is a hilarious and heartfelt journey of redemption—featuring training montages, thrown golf clubs, and face-offs with old rivals.Among the most exciting additions is Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, who plays Happy’s new caddy in a series of laugh-out-loud scenes. And then there’s Travis Kelce—Kansas City Chiefs tight end and rising entertainment star—who delivers a surprise jump scare as a hotel worker yelling “BOO!” right into Happy’s face.

According to Sandler, “The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis. That’s why we put it together.

”While fans may have expected Kelce in a more prominent role, scheduling during football season made that tricky. Sandler revealed, “We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it... imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be.” Instead, Kelce shares screen time with some of the game’s greats in a comedic scene that’s bound to become a fan favorite.The original Happy Gilmore (1996) saw Sandler’s character stumble into golf from a failed hockey career, eventually saving his grandmother’s house with sheer grit and explosive talent. Now, Happy Gilmore 2 picks up with a man past his prime, weighed down by life—but still capable of that spark we all loved.Julie Bowen’s Virginia sums it up perfectly: “Let them see the Happy I fell in love with.” From Sandler’s sharp one-liners to heartwarming moments, Happy Gilmore 2 seems to strike a balance between absurdity and emotion. Add in surprise cameos from Jon Lovitz and more, and July 25 can’t come soon enough.Also Read: Dak Prescott and fiancée Sarah Jane Ramos welcome second daughter, reveal her name as Aurora Rayne
