Serving as a sequel to\nHappy Gilmore\n,\nHappy Gilmore 2\nwas written and produced by\nAdam Sandler\nand\nTim Herlihy\n, and stars Sandler,\nJulie Bowen\n,\nChristopher McDonald\n, and\nBen Stiller\nwho reprised their roles from the original film, while\nBenny Safdie\nand\nBad Bunny\nstar in new roles.\nThe film follows Happy Gilmore returning to professional golf to help pay for his daughter's overseas ballet school following his wife's death that led him to relapse into alcoholism. Filming took place in\nNew Jersey\nfrom September to December 2024.\nHappy Gilmore 2\nwas released onto\nNetflix\non July 25, 2025, and received mixed reviews.\nAfter winning his first Tour Championship in 1996,\n[\na\n]\nHappy Gilmore has a successful golf career, winning five more championships. He also has five children with his wife, Virginia, who is also the professional golf tour's public relations director. After accidentally killing Virginia in 2014 when one of his drives hits her in the head, Happy feels devastated and quits golf out of guilt. He soon becomes an alcoholic and loses everything after a repossession worker sues him for instigating a brawl when mistaking the worker for a car thief.\nEleven years later, Happy works at a supermarket and lives with his only daughter and youngest child Vienna, while his four sons—Gordie, Wayne, Bobby, and Terry—have all moved out and are working to support their father and sister. Vienna wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year ballet school in Paris, which costs $75,000 annually. Frank Manatee, CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and the upcoming golf league Maxi Golf, later approaches Happy and wants him to be the league's star. Happy refuses but resumes playing golf with encouragement from\nJohn Daly\n, wanting to win enough money to put Vienna through ballet school.\nDuring his first round since Virginia died, Happy drinks heavily and crashes his golf cart, which gets him fired from his job and in legal trouble. A jury agrees to remove all charges if he completes an\nalcohol treatment program\nand refrains from any physical altercations. This treatment program's leader turns out to be Hal L., the caretaker who forced Happy's grandmother into\nsweat shop\nlabor.\n[\na\n]\nVienna and John advise Happy to practice seriously and to join the next Tour Championship, which he does. One month later, Happy meets old companions, including Doug Thompson, president of the Tour, who worries about Maxi Golf rising fast. After Happy suggests having a competition between the two leagues, Doug proposes a match with the five best players from each league competing against each other. Happy, with help from his new caddie, Oscar Mejías, plays well at the Tour Championship in the first three rounds, but collapses in the fourth round on Mother's Day, seeing visions of Virginia on the course before getting drunk, finishing sixth. The winner, Billy Jenkins, admits to being in Maxi Golf, having participated in the Tour Championship as a taunt, vacating his place on the team and enabling Happy to join.\nHaving been in psychiatric care since losing to Happy at the 1996 Tour Championship,\n[\na\n]\nShooter McGavin is granted a release by Frank. He explains to Shooter that all players on Maxi Golf, including Billy, have their\niliolumbar ligament\nsevered, increasing their driving distance, and asks him to join as their captain. Disgusted with this and how Frank's \"extreme\" version of golf highly strays from the traditional game, Shooter escapes. Having heard about Virginia's death, Shooter visits her grave and briefly fights Happy there before they call a truce. Happy later meets Slim Peterson, whose father Chubbs Peterson had mentored Happy in 1996, and Slim joins Shooter in coaching Happy,\nRory McIlroy\n,\nBryson DeChambeau\n,\nBrooks Koepka\nand\nScottie Scheffler\nto face Maxi Golf.\nDuring the match, Scottie gets disqualified in the first round for punching his opponent. Although the course is heavily designed to advantage Maxi Golf, as all their golfers are long drivers, the traditional golfers manage to make it 2–2, with the help of Shooter, who replaces Brooks after he gets injured. Happy and Billy then face off in a tie-breaker. Happy has a chance to putt for victory, but Frank alters the green to make it impossible to putt. He then makes a deal with Happy: if Happy misses the putt, Happy must join Maxi Golf. Otherwise, Frank must discontinue Maxi Golf, buy Happy's house back, pay for Vienna's ballet school, give Happy his new\nRolls-Royce Spectre\n, and open a new Italian restaurant for Oscar. With help from the lattermost, Happy sinks the putt and wins.\nWhen Happy celebrates his three-month sobriety, Hal is exposed as a con artist and gets arrested. Maxi Energy Drink is discontinued after being revealed to cause significant oral health issues, leaving Frank in ruin and in hiding. Happy later accompanies his family at an airport as they fly off to Paris, promising to join them after completing the\nBritish Open\n, but is forced to walk, having forgotten to charge the electric Rolls-Royce, as he waves to visions of various people from his past.\nAdam Sandler\nas Happy Gilmore, a golfer who comes out of retirement\nJulie Bowen\nas Virginia Venit Gilmore, Happy's deceased wife\nChristopher McDonald\nas Shooter McGavin, Happy's former rival who suffered a mental breakdown following his defeat at the Tour Championship at the end of the first film\nBenny Safdie\nas Frank Manatee, the CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and sponsor of Maxi Golf\nBad Bunny\nas Oscar Mejías, Happy's caddy and a former busboy who dreams of owning a restaurant\nJohn Daly\nas a fictionalized version of himself, a hermit who lives in Happy's garage\nBen Stiller\nas Haloysius \"Hal L.\" Lieberman, the abusive leader of a support group for alcoholics.

In 2019, Boyce died at the age of 20 due to\ncomplications from epilepsy\n. During one scene, Boyce briefly appears on a television screen in a clip from the\nDisney Channel\nseries\nJessie\n(2011–2015), which Sandler also guest-starred on.\n[\n6\n]\nIn September 2022,\nAdam Sandler\nstated that he hoped to eventually make a sequel to\nHappy Gilmore\n, saying he had been creating ideas for what a follow-up film would be, while stating the character would be involved in a senior golf tour.\n[\n7\n]\nIn February 2024,\nCarl Weathers\n, who played Chubbs Peterson in the first film, died at age 76. Despite his character's death in the first film, he was set to reprise his role appearing as a ghost in Happy's dreams while his son Slim (Lavell Crawford) would resent Happy for causing his father's death. Weathers' death forced a heavy rewrite with Chubbs instead being given tributes throughout the film and Slim having already forgiven Happy and reduced to a smaller supporting role.\n[\n8\n]\nOther actors, who had died since the first film that are given tributes, include\nFrances Bay\nwho played Grandma Anna Gilmore,\nRichard Kiel\nwho played Mr. Larson, gameshow host\nBob Barker\nwho played himself and\nJoe Flaherty\nwho played Donald the \"Jackass\" Guy, each of whom died in 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024, respectively. An indirect tribute was given to\nDustin Diamond\n(who died in 2021), due to the Maxi Golf character Screech being confused for Diamond's character of the same name from\nSaved by the Bell\n, despite Diamond and Sandler having never worked together.\nIn March 2024,\nChristopher McDonald\nrevealed that a sequel was in development, and that Sandler had shown him a draft of the script to read.\n[\n9\n]\nDuring development, the\nLIV Golf\nleague was founded by the\nSaudi Arabia\nPublic Investment Fund\nto rival the\nPGA Tour\n, giving inspirations to the film's storyline of the rivalry between the Tour and Maxi Golf.\n[\n10\n]\nIn May 2024, it was announced that\nNetflix\ngreenlit the film, which the first film was distributed by\nUniversal Pictures\n.\n[\n11\n]\nKyle Newacheck\nwas hired to direct the film, with\nTim Herlihy\nco-writing the screenplay with Sandler.

One promotional effort involved the replacement of the\nTimes Square Ball\nat\nOne Times Square\nin New York City with a\nHappy Gilmore\ngolf ball.\n[\n35\n]\n[\n31\n]\nOn the\nreview aggregator\nwebsite\nRotten Tomatoes\n, 62% of 122 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: \"With Adam Sandler and company clearly having a good time,\nHappy Gilmore 2\nthwacks hard with nostalgia when it should've putted but will still put fans of the original back in their happy place.\"\n[\n36\n]\nMetacritic\n, which uses a\nweighted average\n, assigned the film a score of 52 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating \"mixed or average\" reviews.\n[\n37\n]\nRichard Roeper\nof\nRogerEbert.com\ngave the film three out of four stars and wrote, \"The scatological 'humor' is as low-brow as it gets; either you find it funny or you don't. I've never been a huge fan of that ... stuff, but the physical,\nThree Stooges\nmaterial has a certain, admittedly dumb, slapstick appeal. Still,\nHappy Gilmore\nmakes par through the strength of its sheer stupid energy and the game efforts of Sandler and his 50 or so co-stars. It's good to be back in that Happy Place.\"\n[\n38\n]\nConversely,\nFrank Scheck\nof\nThe Hollywood Reporter\nsaid, \"Other than a running gag revolving around Happy's use of every possible object as a liquor container, the film's main humor involves people being painfully hit by golf balls. By the time the movie ends and you've been assaulted by one tired gag after another, you'll know exactly how they feel.\"\n[\n39\n]\nLiz Shannon Miller of\nConsequence\ngave the film a B− and commented \"Between Happy's family life and a whole new series of challenges for him to tackle, there's enough freshness to the plot to keep it from feeling like a total rehash of what came before, while still delivering wild golf stunts and a huge range of cameos.\"\n[\n40\n]\n^\na\nb\nc\nAs depicted in\nHappy Gilmore\n^\nGleiberman, Owen (July 25, 2025).\n\"\n'Happy Gilmore 2' Review: Adam Sandler Tees Off a Happy Orgy of Raucous Fan-Service Nostalgia\"\n.\nVariety\n.

Filming took place in [New Jersey](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Jersey \"New Jersey\") from September to December 2024. *Happy Gilmore 2* was released onto [Netflix](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netflix \"Netflix\") on July 25, 2025, and received mixed reviews.\n\n## Plot\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Plot\")\\]\n\nAfter winning his first Tour Championship in 1996,[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Happy Gilmore has a successful golf career, winning five more championships. He also has five children with his wife, Virginia, who is also the professional golf tour's public relations director. After accidentally killing Virginia in 2014 when one of his drives hits her in the head, Happy feels devastated and quits golf out of guilt. He soon becomes an alcoholic and loses everything after a repossession worker sues him for instigating a brawl when mistaking the worker for a car thief.\n\nEleven years later, Happy works at a supermarket and lives with his only daughter and youngest child Vienna, while his four sons—Gordie, Wayne, Bobby, and Terry—have all moved out and are working to support their father and sister. Vienna wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year ballet school in Paris, which costs \\$75,000 annually. Frank Manatee, CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and the upcoming golf league Maxi Golf, later approaches Happy and wants him to be the league's star. Happy refuses but resumes playing golf with encouragement from [John Daly](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Daly_\$golfer\$ \"John Daly (golfer)\"), wanting to win enough money to put Vienna through ballet school.\n\nDuring his first round since Virginia died, Happy drinks heavily and crashes his golf cart, which gets him fired from his job and in legal trouble. A jury agrees to remove all charges if he completes an [alcohol treatment program](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drug_rehabilitation \"Drug rehabilitation\") and refrains from any physical altercations. This treatment program's leader turns out to be Hal L., the caretaker who forced Happy's grandmother into [sweat shop](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sweat_shop \"Sweat shop\") labor.[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4)\n\nVienna and John advise Happy to practice seriously and to join the next Tour Championship, which he does. One month later, Happy meets old companions, including Doug Thompson, president of the Tour, who worries about Maxi Golf rising fast. After Happy suggests having a competition between the two leagues, Doug proposes a match with the five best players from each league competing against each other. Happy, with help from his new caddie, Oscar Mejías, plays well at the Tour Championship in the first three rounds, but collapses in the fourth round on Mother's Day, seeing visions of Virginia on the course before getting drunk, finishing sixth. The winner, Billy Jenkins, admits to being in Maxi Golf, having participated in the Tour Championship as a taunt, vacating his place on the team and enabling Happy to join.\n\nHaving been in psychiatric care since losing to Happy at the 1996 Tour Championship,[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Shooter McGavin is granted a release by Frank. He explains to Shooter that all players on Maxi Golf, including Billy, have their [iliolumbar ligament](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iliolumbar_ligament \"Iliolumbar ligament\") severed, increasing their driving distance, and asks him to join as their captain. Disgusted with this and how Frank's \"extreme\" version of golf highly strays from the traditional game, Shooter escapes. Having heard about Virginia's death, Shooter visits her grave and briefly fights Happy there before they call a truce. Happy later meets Slim Peterson, whose father Chubbs Peterson had mentored Happy in 1996, and Slim joins Shooter in coaching Happy, [Rory McIlroy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rory_McIlroy \"Rory McIlroy\"), [Bryson DeChambeau](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bryson_DeChambeau \"Bryson DeChambeau\"), [Brooks Koepka](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brooks_Koepka \"Brooks Koepka\") and [Scottie Scheffler](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scottie_Scheffler \"Scottie Scheffler\") to face Maxi Golf.\n\nDuring the match, Scottie gets disqualified in the first round for punching his opponent. Although the course is heavily designed to advantage Maxi Golf, as all their golfers are long drivers, the traditional golfers manage to make it 2–2, with the help of Shooter, who replaces Brooks after he gets injured. Happy and Billy then face off in a tie-breaker. Happy has a chance to putt for victory, but Frank alters the green to make it impossible to putt. He then makes a deal with Happy: if Happy misses the putt, Happy must join Maxi Golf. Otherwise, Frank must discontinue Maxi Golf, buy Happy's house back, pay for Vienna's ballet school, give Happy his new [Rolls-Royce Spectre](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rolls-Royce_Spectre \"Rolls-Royce Spectre\"), and open a new Italian restaurant for Oscar. With help from the lattermost, Happy sinks the putt and wins.\n\nWhen Happy celebrates his three-month sobriety, Hal is exposed as a con artist and gets arrested. Maxi Energy Drink is discontinued after being revealed to cause significant oral health issues, leaving Frank in ruin and in hiding. Happy later accompanies his family at an airport as they fly off to Paris, promising to join them after completing the [British Open](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/British_Open \"British Open\"), but is forced to walk, having forgotten to charge the electric Rolls-Royce, as he waves to visions of various people from his past.\n\n## Cast\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Cast\")\\]\n\n- [Adam Sandler](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adam_Sandler \"Adam Sandler\") as Happy Gilmore, a golfer who comes out of retirement\n- [Julie Bowen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julie_Bowen \"Julie Bowen\") as Virginia Venit Gilmore, Happy's deceased wife\n- [Christopher McDonald](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christopher_McDonald \"Christopher McDonald\") as Shooter McGavin, Happy's former rival who suffered a mental breakdown following his defeat at the Tour Championship at the end of the first film\n- [Benny Safdie](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benny_Safdie \"Benny Safdie\") as Frank Manatee, the CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and sponsor of Maxi Golf\n- [Bad Bunny](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bad_Bunny \"Bad Bunny\") as Oscar Mejías, Happy's caddy and a former busboy who dreams of owning a restaurant\n- [John Daly](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Daly_\$golfer\$ \"John Daly (golfer)\") as a fictionalized version of himself, a hermit who lives in Happy's garage\n- [Ben Stiller](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ben_Stiller \"Ben Stiller\") as Haloysius \"Hal L.\" Lieberman, the abusive leader of a support group for alcoholics.

Serving as a sequel to *[Happy Gilmore](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore \"Happy Gilmore\")*, *Happy Gilmore 2* was written and produced by [Adam Sandler](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adam_Sandler \"Adam Sandler\") and [Tim Herlihy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tim_Herlihy \"Tim Herlihy\"), and stars Sandler, [Julie Bowen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Julie_Bowen \"Julie Bowen\"), [Christopher McDonald](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christopher_McDonald \"Christopher McDonald\"), and [Ben Stiller](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ben_Stiller \"Ben Stiller\") who reprised their roles from the original film, while [Benny Safdie](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benny_Safdie \"Benny Safdie\") and [Bad Bunny](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bad_Bunny \"Bad Bunny\") star in new roles.\n\nThe film follows Happy Gilmore returning to professional golf to help pay for his daughter's overseas ballet school following his wife's death that led him to relapse into alcoholism. Filming took place in [New Jersey](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Jersey \"New Jersey\") from September to December 2024. *Happy Gilmore 2* was released onto [Netflix](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netflix \"Netflix\") on July 25, 2025, and received mixed reviews.\n\nAfter winning his first Tour Championship in 1996,[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Happy Gilmore has a successful golf career, winning five more championships. He also has five children with his wife, Virginia, who is also the professional golf tour's public relations director. After accidentally killing Virginia in 2014 when one of his drives hits her in the head, Happy feels devastated and quits golf out of guilt. He soon becomes an alcoholic and loses everything after a repossession worker sues him for instigating a brawl when mistaking the worker for a car thief.\n\nEleven years later, Happy works at a supermarket and lives with his only daughter and youngest child Vienna, while his four sons—Gordie, Wayne, Bobby, and Terry—have all moved out and are working to support their father and sister. Vienna wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year ballet school in Paris, which costs \\$75,000 annually. Frank Manatee, CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and the upcoming golf league Maxi Golf, later approaches Happy and wants him to be the league's star. Happy refuses but resumes playing golf with encouragement from [John Daly](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Daly_\$golfer\$ \"John Daly (golfer)\"), wanting to win enough money to put Vienna through ballet school.\n\nDuring his first round since Virginia died, Happy drinks heavily and crashes his golf cart, which gets him fired from his job and in legal trouble. A jury agrees to remove all charges if he completes an [alcohol treatment program](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Drug_rehabilitation \"Drug rehabilitation\") and refrains from any physical altercations. This treatment program's leader turns out to be Hal L., the caretaker who forced Happy's grandmother into [sweat shop](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sweat_shop \"Sweat shop\") labor.[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4)\n\nVienna and John advise Happy to practice seriously and to join the next Tour Championship, which he does. One month later, Happy meets old companions, including Doug Thompson, president of the Tour, who worries about Maxi Golf rising fast. After Happy suggests having a competition between the two leagues, Doug proposes a match with the five best players from each league competing against each other. Happy, with help from his new caddie, Oscar Mejías, plays well at the Tour Championship in the first three rounds, but collapses in the fourth round on Mother's Day, seeing visions of Virginia on the course before getting drunk, finishing sixth. The winner, Billy Jenkins, admits to being in Maxi Golf, having participated in the Tour Championship as a taunt, vacating his place on the team and enabling Happy to join.\n\nHaving been in psychiatric care since losing to Happy at the 1996 Tour Championship,[\\[a\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Shooter McGavin is granted a release by Frank. He explains to Shooter that all players on Maxi Golf, including Billy, have their [iliolumbar ligament](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iliolumbar_ligament \"Iliolumbar ligament\") severed, increasing their driving distance, and asks him to join as their captain. Disgusted with this and how Frank's \"extreme\" version of golf highly strays from the traditional game, Shooter escapes. Having heard about Virginia's death, Shooter visits her grave and briefly fights Happy there before they call a truce. Happy later meets Slim Peterson, whose father Chubbs Peterson had mentored Happy in 1996, and Slim joins Shooter in coaching Happy, [Rory McIlroy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rory_McIlroy \"Rory McIlroy\"), [Bryson DeChambeau](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bryson_DeChambeau \"Bryson DeChambeau\"), [Brooks Koepka](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brooks_Koepka \"Brooks Koepka\") and [Scottie Scheffler](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scottie_Scheffler \"Scottie Scheffler\") to face Maxi Golf.\n\nDuring the match, Scottie gets disqualified in the first round for punching his opponent. Although the course is heavily designed to advantage Maxi Golf, as all their golfers are long drivers, the traditional golfers manage to make it 2–2, with the help of Shooter, who replaces Brooks after he gets injured. Happy and Billy then face off in a tie-breaker. Happy has a chance to putt for victory, but Frank alters the green to make it impossible to putt. He then makes a deal with Happy: if Happy misses the putt, Happy must join Maxi Golf. Otherwise, Frank must discontinue Maxi Golf, buy Happy's house back, pay for Vienna's ballet school, give Happy his new [Rolls-Royce Spectre](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rolls-Royce_Spectre \"Rolls-Royce Spectre\"), and open a new Italian restaurant for Oscar. With help from the lattermost, Happy sinks the putt and wins.\n\nWhen Happy celebrates his three-month sobriety, Hal is exposed as a con artist and gets arrested.

Boilerpipe Text	From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Happy Gilmore 2 Release poster Directed by Kyle Newacheck Written by Tim Herlihy Adam Sandler Produced by Adam Sandler Tim Herlihy Jack Giarraputo Robert Simonds Starring Adam Sandler Julie Bowen Christopher McDonald Benny Safdie Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio Ben Stiller Cinematography Zak Mulligan Edited by Brian Robinson Tom Costain J. J. Titone Music by Rupert Gregson-Williams Production company Happy Madison Productions [ 1 ] Distributed by Netflix Release date July 25, 2025 Running time 118 minutes [ 2 ] Country United States Language English Budget $152.5 million [ 3 ] Happy Gilmore 2 is a 2025 American sports comedy film directed by Kyle Newacheck . Serving as a sequel to Happy Gilmore , Happy Gilmore 2 was written and produced by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy , and stars Sandler, Julie Bowen , Christopher McDonald , and Ben Stiller who reprised their roles from the original film, while Benny Safdie and Bad Bunny star in new roles. The film follows Happy Gilmore returning to professional golf to help pay for his daughter's overseas ballet school following his wife's death that led him to relapse into alcoholism. Filming took place in New Jersey from September to December 2024. Happy Gilmore 2 was released onto Netflix on July 25, 2025, and received mixed reviews. After winning his first Tour Championship in 1996, [ a ] Happy Gilmore has a successful golf career, winning five more championships. He also has five children with his wife, Virginia, who is also the professional golf tour's public relations director. After accidentally killing Virginia in 2014 when one of his drives hits her in the head, Happy feels devastated and quits golf out of guilt. He soon becomes an alcoholic and loses everything after a repossession worker sues him for instigating a brawl when mistaking the worker for a car thief. Eleven years later, Happy works at a supermarket and lives with his only daughter and youngest child Vienna, while his four sons—Gordie, Wayne, Bobby, and Terry—have all moved out and are working to support their father and sister. Vienna wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year ballet school in Paris, which costs $75,000 annually. Frank Manatee, CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and the upcoming golf league Maxi Golf, later approaches Happy and wants him to be the league's star. Happy refuses but resumes playing golf with encouragement from John Daly , wanting to win enough money to put Vienna through ballet school. During his first round since Virginia died, Happy drinks heavily and crashes his golf cart, which gets him fired from his job and in legal trouble. A jury agrees to remove all charges if he completes an alcohol treatment program and refrains from any physical altercations. This treatment program's leader turns out to be Hal L., the caretaker who forced Happy's grandmother into sweat shop labor. [ a ] Vienna and John advise Happy to practice seriously and to join the next Tour Championship, which he does. One month later, Happy meets old companions, including Doug Thompson, president of the Tour, who worries about Maxi Golf rising fast. After Happy suggests having a competition between the two leagues, Doug proposes a match with the five best players from each league competing against each other. Happy, with help from his new caddie, Oscar Mejías, plays well at the Tour Championship in the first three rounds, but collapses in the fourth round on Mother's Day, seeing visions of Virginia on the course before getting drunk, finishing sixth. The winner, Billy Jenkins, admits to being in Maxi Golf, having participated in the Tour Championship as a taunt, vacating his place on the team and enabling Happy to join. Having been in psychiatric care since losing to Happy at the 1996 Tour Championship, [ a ] Shooter McGavin is granted a release by Frank. He explains to Shooter that all players on Maxi Golf, including Billy, have their iliolumbar ligament severed, increasing their driving distance, and asks him to join as their captain. Disgusted with this and how Frank's "extreme" version of golf highly strays from the traditional game, Shooter escapes. Having heard about Virginia's death, Shooter visits her grave and briefly fights Happy there before they call a truce. Happy later meets Slim Peterson, whose father Chubbs Peterson had mentored Happy in 1996, and Slim joins Shooter in coaching Happy, Rory McIlroy , Bryson DeChambeau , Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler to face Maxi Golf. During the match, Scottie gets disqualified in the first round for punching his opponent. Although the course is heavily designed to advantage Maxi Golf, as all their golfers are long drivers, the traditional golfers manage to make it 2–2, with the help of Shooter, who replaces Brooks after he gets injured. Happy and Billy then face off in a tie-breaker. Happy has a chance to putt for victory, but Frank alters the green to make it impossible to putt. He then makes a deal with Happy: if Happy misses the putt, Happy must join Maxi Golf. Otherwise, Frank must discontinue Maxi Golf, buy Happy's house back, pay for Vienna's ballet school, give Happy his new Rolls-Royce Spectre , and open a new Italian restaurant for Oscar. With help from the lattermost, Happy sinks the putt and wins. When Happy celebrates his three-month sobriety, Hal is exposed as a con artist and gets arrested. Maxi Energy Drink is discontinued after being revealed to cause significant oral health issues, leaving Frank in ruin and in hiding. Happy later accompanies his family at an airport as they fly off to Paris, promising to join them after completing the British Open , but is forced to walk, having forgotten to charge the electric Rolls-Royce, as he waves to visions of various people from his past.

Smith , Chris Berman and Jim Gray : sportscasters Alix Earle , influencer Cam'ron , rapper Ken Jennings , Jeopardy! host Sean Evans , interviewer Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee , comedy podcasters Guy Fieri , chef Via archival footage [ edit ] Sandler paid tribute to his late Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 co-star Cameron Boyce . In 2019, Boyce died at the age of 20 due to complications from epilepsy . During one scene, Boyce briefly appears on a television screen in a clip from the Disney Channel series Jessie (2011–2015), which Sandler also guest-starred on. [ 6 ] In September 2022, Adam Sandler stated that he hoped to eventually make a sequel to Happy Gilmore , saying he had been creating ideas for what a follow-up film would be, while stating the character would be involved in a senior golf tour. [ 7 ] In February 2024, Carl Weathers , who played Chubbs Peterson in the first film, died at age 76. Despite his character's death in the first film, he was set to reprise his role appearing as a ghost in Happy's dreams while his son Slim (Lavell Crawford) would resent Happy for causing his father's death. Weathers' death forced a heavy rewrite with Chubbs instead being given tributes throughout the film and Slim having already forgiven Happy and reduced to a smaller supporting role. [ 8 ] Other actors, who had died since the first film that are given tributes, include Frances Bay who played Grandma Anna Gilmore, Richard Kiel who played Mr. Larson, gameshow host Bob Barker who played himself and Joe Flaherty who played Donald the "Jackass" Guy, each of whom died in 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024, respectively. An indirect tribute was given to Dustin Diamond (who died in 2021), due to the Maxi Golf character Screech being confused for Diamond's character of the same name from Saved by the Bell , despite Diamond and Sandler having never worked together. In March 2024, Christopher McDonald revealed that a sequel was in development, and that Sandler had shown him a draft of the script to read. [ 9 ] During development, the LIV Golf league was founded by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund to rival the PGA Tour , giving inspirations to the film's storyline of the rivalry between the Tour and Maxi Golf. [ 10 ] In May 2024, it was announced that Netflix greenlit the film, which the first film was distributed by Universal Pictures . [ 11 ] Kyle Newacheck was hired to direct the film, with Tim Herlihy co-writing the screenplay with Sandler. In July, Nick Swardson announced he would star in the film. [ 12 ] In August, Sandler revealed Benny Safdie would have a role in the film, [ 13 ] with football player Travis Kelce set to make a cameo. [ 14 ] In September, McDonald and Julie Bowen were confirmed to be reprising their roles, with Bad Bunny , Margaret Qualley , and Maxwell Jacob Friedman added to the cast. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] John Daly revealed his own involvement with the film. [ 18 ] Principal photography began on September 9, 2024, in New Jersey , coinciding with Sandler's 58th birthday. [ 19 ] A casting call took place at a hotel in Morristown, New Jersey . [ 20 ] Filming locations in New Jersey include a country club in Bedminster , [ 21 ] a burger shop in Garfield , [ 22 ] a golf center in Hackettstown , [ 23 ] a nail salon in Maplewood , [ 24 ] a beach in Middletown , [ 25 ] a deli in Millburn , [ 26 ] a French restaurant in Montclair , [ 26 ] a cafe in Morristown , [ 27 ] a public school in Newark , [ 28 ] Seton Hall University in South Orange , [ 24 ] Montclair Golf Club in West Orange , [ 26 ] Verona Town Hall in Verona Township , [ 29 ] a boys & girls club in Kearny , and a Stop & Shop supermarket in Clifton . Filming wrapped on December 10, 2024. [ 30 ] The Times Square Ball was replaced by a Happy Gilmore golf ball as part of a promotional campaign. [ 31 ] Happy Gilmore 2 premiered at the Lincoln Center in New York City on July 21, 2025. [ 32 ] The film was released on Netflix on July 25, 2025. [ 33 ] For the week of July 21–27, Happy Gilmore 2 ranked first on Netflix's list of English-language movies, drawing 46.7 million views in three days making it the biggest US Netflix film debut of the year, with 4.7 million views in the US over its initial weekend. [ 34 ] Topgolf Callaway participated in promotional campaigns for the film, including conducting screenings at Topgolf driving ranges , and releasing branded apparel and equipment (including Gilmore's Odyssey hockey stick putter, and Chrome Tour golf balls printed with iconography and quotes from the films). One promotional effort involved the replacement of the Times Square Ball at One Times Square in New York City with a Happy Gilmore golf ball. [ 35 ] [ 31 ] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 62% of 122 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "With Adam Sandler and company clearly having a good time, Happy Gilmore 2 thwacks hard with nostalgia when it should've putted but will still put fans of the original back in their happy place." [ 36 ] Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the film a score of 52 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. [ 37 ] Richard Roeper of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "The scatological 'humor' is as low-brow as it gets; either you find it funny or you don't. I've never been a huge fan of that ... stuff, but the physical, Three Stooges material has a certain, admittedly dumb, slapstick appeal. Still, Happy Gilmore makes par through the strength of its sheer stupid energy and the game efforts of Sandler and his 50 or so co-stars. It's good to be back in that Happy Place." [ 38 ] Conversely, Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter said, "Other than a running gag revolving around Happy's use of every possible object as a liquor container, the film's main humor involves people being painfully hit by golf balls. By the time the movie ends and you've been assaulted by one tired gag after another, you'll know exactly how they feel." [ 39 ] Liz Shannon Miller of Consequence gave the film a B− and commented "Between Happy's family life and a whole new series of challenges for him to tackle, there's enough freshness to the plot to keep it from feeling like a total rehash of what came before, while still delivering wild golf stunts and a huge range of cameos."

Serving as a sequel to [Happy Gilmore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore "Happy Gilmore"), Happy Gilmore 2 was written and produced by [Adam Sandler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Sandler "Adam Sandler") and [Tim Herlihy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Herlihy "Tim Herlihy"), and stars Sandler, [Julie Bowen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Bowen "Julie Bowen"), [Christopher McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McDonald "Christopher McDonald"), and [Ben Stiller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stiller "Ben Stiller") who reprised their roles from the original film, while [Benny Safdie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Safdie "Benny Safdie") and [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny") star in new roles. The film follows Happy Gilmore returning to professional golf to help pay for his daughter's overseas ballet school following his wife's death that led him to relapse into alcoholism. Filming took place in [New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey "New Jersey") from September to December 2024. Happy Gilmore 2 was released onto [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on July 25, 2025, and received mixed reviews. ## Plot \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Plot")\] After winning his first Tour Championship in 1996,[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Happy Gilmore has a successful golf career, winning five more championships. He also has five children with his wife, Virginia, who is also the professional golf tour's public relations director. After accidentally killing Virginia in 2014 when one of his drives hits her in the head, Happy feels devastated and quits golf out of guilt. He soon becomes an alcoholic and loses everything after a repossession worker sues him for instigating a brawl when mistaking the worker for a car thief. Eleven years later, Happy works at a supermarket and lives with his only daughter and youngest child Vienna, while his four sons—Gordie, Wayne, Bobby, and Terry—have all moved out and are working to support their father and sister. Vienna wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year ballet school in Paris, which costs \$75,000 annually. Frank Manatee, CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and the upcoming golf league Maxi Golf, later approaches Happy and wants him to be the league's star. Happy refuses but resumes playing golf with encouragement from [John Daly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Daly_$golfer$ "John Daly (golfer)"), wanting to win enough money to put Vienna through ballet school. During his first round since Virginia died, Happy drinks heavily and crashes his golf cart, which gets him fired from his job and in legal trouble. A jury agrees to remove all charges if he completes an [alcohol treatment program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_rehabilitation "Drug rehabilitation") and refrains from any physical altercations. This treatment program's leader turns out to be Hal L., the caretaker who forced Happy's grandmother into [sweat shop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_shop "Sweat shop") labor.[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Vienna and John advise Happy to practice seriously and to join the next Tour Championship, which he does. One month later, Happy meets old companions, including Doug Thompson, president of the Tour, who worries about Maxi Golf rising fast. After Happy suggests having a competition between the two leagues, Doug proposes a match with the five best players from each league competing against each other. Happy, with help from his new caddie, Oscar Mejías, plays well at the Tour Championship in the first three rounds, but collapses in the fourth round on Mother's Day, seeing visions of Virginia on the course before getting drunk, finishing sixth. The winner, Billy Jenkins, admits to being in Maxi Golf, having participated in the Tour Championship as a taunt, vacating his place on the team and enabling Happy to join. Having been in psychiatric care since losing to Happy at the 1996 Tour Championship,[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Shooter McGavin is granted a release by Frank. He explains to Shooter that all players on Maxi Golf, including Billy, have their [iliolumbar ligament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliolumbar_ligament "Iliolumbar ligament") severed, increasing their driving distance, and asks him to join as their captain. Disgusted with this and how Frank's "extreme" version of golf highly strays from the traditional game, Shooter escapes. Having heard about Virginia's death, Shooter visits her grave and briefly fights Happy there before they call a truce. Happy later meets Slim Peterson, whose father Chubbs Peterson had mentored Happy in 1996, and Slim joins Shooter in coaching Happy, [Rory McIlroy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_McIlroy "Rory McIlroy"), [Bryson DeChambeau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryson_DeChambeau "Bryson DeChambeau"), [Brooks Koepka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Koepka "Brooks Koepka") and [Scottie Scheffler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottie_Scheffler "Scottie Scheffler") to face Maxi Golf. During the match, Scottie gets disqualified in the first round for punching his opponent. Although the course is heavily designed to advantage Maxi Golf, as all their golfers are long drivers, the traditional golfers manage to make it 2–2, with the help of Shooter, who replaces Brooks after he gets injured. Happy and Billy then face off in a tie-breaker. Happy has a chance to putt for victory, but Frank alters the green to make it impossible to putt. He then makes a deal with Happy: if Happy misses the putt, Happy must join Maxi Golf. Otherwise, Frank must discontinue Maxi Golf, buy Happy's house back, pay for Vienna's ballet school, give Happy his new [Rolls-Royce Spectre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Spectre "Rolls-Royce Spectre"), and open a new Italian restaurant for Oscar. With help from the lattermost, Happy sinks the putt and wins. When Happy celebrates his three-month sobriety, Hal is exposed as a con artist and gets arrested. Maxi Energy Drink is discontinued after being revealed to cause significant oral health issues, leaving Frank in ruin and in hiding. Happy later accompanies his family at an airport as they fly off to Paris, promising to join them after completing the [British Open](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Open "British Open"), but is forced to walk, having forgotten to charge the electric Rolls-Royce, as he waves to visions of various people from his past. ## Cast \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Cast")\] - [Adam Sandler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Sandler "Adam Sandler") as Happy Gilmore, a golfer who comes out of retirement - [Julie Bowen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Bowen "Julie Bowen") as Virginia Venit Gilmore, Happy's deceased wife - [Christopher McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McDonald "Christopher McDonald") as Shooter McGavin, Happy's former rival who suffered a mental breakdown following his defeat at the Tour Championship at the end of the first film - [Benny Safdie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Safdie "Benny Safdie") as Frank Manatee, the CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and sponsor of Maxi Golf - [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny") as Oscar Mejías, Happy's caddy and a former busboy who dreams of owning a restaurant - [John Daly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Daly_$golfer$ "John Daly (golfer)") as a fictionalized version of himself, a hermit who lives in Happy's garage - [Ben Stiller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stiller "Ben Stiller") as Haloysius "Hal L."

During one scene, Boyce briefly appears on a television screen in a clip from the [Disney Channel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Channel "Disney Channel") series [Jessie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessie_$2011_TV_series$ "Jessie (2011 TV series)") (2011–2015), which Sandler also guest-starred on.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-7) ## Production \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Production")\] In September 2022, [Adam Sandler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Sandler "Adam Sandler") stated that he hoped to eventually make a sequel to [Happy Gilmore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore "Happy Gilmore"), saying he had been creating ideas for what a follow-up film would be, while stating the character would be involved in a senior golf tour.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-8) In February 2024, [Carl Weathers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Weathers "Carl Weathers"), who played Chubbs Peterson in the first film, died at age 76. Despite his character's death in the first film, he was set to reprise his role appearing as a ghost in Happy's dreams while his son Slim (Lavell Crawford) would resent Happy for causing his father's death. Weathers' death forced a heavy rewrite with Chubbs instead being given tributes throughout the film and Slim having already forgiven Happy and reduced to a smaller supporting role.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-9) Other actors, who had died since the first film that are given tributes, include [Frances Bay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Bay "Frances Bay") who played Grandma Anna Gilmore, [Richard Kiel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kiel "Richard Kiel") who played Mr. Larson, gameshow host [Bob Barker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barker "Bob Barker") who played himself and [Joe Flaherty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Flaherty "Joe Flaherty") who played Donald the "Jackass" Guy, each of whom died in 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024, respectively. An indirect tribute was given to [Dustin Diamond](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Diamond "Dustin Diamond") (who died in 2021), due to the Maxi Golf character Screech being confused for Diamond's character of the same name from [Saved by the Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saved_by_the_Bell "Saved by the Bell"), despite Diamond and Sandler having never worked together.

The website's consensus reads: "With Adam Sandler and company clearly having a good time, Happy Gilmore 2 thwacks hard with nostalgia when it should've putted but will still put fans of the original back in their happy place."[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-Rotten_Tomatoes-37) [Metacritic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacritic "Metacritic"), which uses a [weighted average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean "Weighted arithmetic mean"), assigned the film a score of 52 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-Metacritic-38) [Richard Roeper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roeper "Richard Roeper") of [RogerEbert.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RogerEbert.com "RogerEbert.com") gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "The scatological 'humor' is as low-brow as it gets; either you find it funny or you don't. I've never been a huge fan of that ... stuff, but the physical, [Three Stooges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges "The Three Stooges") material has a certain, admittedly dumb, slapstick appeal. Still, Happy Gilmore makes par through the strength of its sheer stupid energy and the game efforts of Sandler and his 50 or so co-stars. It's good to be back in that Happy Place."[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-39) Conversely, [Frank Scheck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Scheck "Frank Scheck") of [The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter") said, "Other than a running gag revolving around Happy's use of every possible object as a liquor container, the film's main humor involves people being painfully hit by golf balls. By the time the movie ends and you've been assaulted by one tired gag after another, you'll know exactly how they feel."[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-ReviewTHR-40) Liz Shannon Miller of [Consequence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequence_$publication$ "Consequence (publication)") gave the film a B− and commented "Between Happy's family life and a whole new series of challenges for him to tackle, there's enough freshness to the plot to keep it from feeling like a total rehash of what came before, while still delivering wild golf stunts and a huge range of cameos."[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-41) ## Notes \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Notes")\] 1. ^ [*a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_ref-HG1_4-0) [b](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_ref-HG1_4-1) [c](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_ref-HG1_4-2) As depicted in [Happy Gilmore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore "Happy Gilmore")* ## References \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Happy_Gilmore_2&action=edit&section=11 "Edit section: References")\] 1.

Serving as a sequel to [Happy Gilmore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore "Happy Gilmore"), Happy Gilmore 2 was written and produced by [Adam Sandler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Sandler "Adam Sandler") and [Tim Herlihy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Herlihy "Tim Herlihy"), and stars Sandler, [Julie Bowen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Bowen "Julie Bowen"), [Christopher McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McDonald "Christopher McDonald"), and [Ben Stiller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stiller "Ben Stiller") who reprised their roles from the original film, while [Benny Safdie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Safdie "Benny Safdie") and [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny") star in new roles. The film follows Happy Gilmore returning to professional golf to help pay for his daughter's overseas ballet school following his wife's death that led him to relapse into alcoholism. Filming took place in [New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey "New Jersey") from September to December 2024. Happy Gilmore 2 was released onto [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on July 25, 2025, and received mixed reviews. After winning his first Tour Championship in 1996,[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Happy Gilmore has a successful golf career, winning five more championships. He also has five children with his wife, Virginia, who is also the professional golf tour's public relations director. After accidentally killing Virginia in 2014 when one of his drives hits her in the head, Happy feels devastated and quits golf out of guilt. He soon becomes an alcoholic and loses everything after a repossession worker sues him for instigating a brawl when mistaking the worker for a car thief. Eleven years later, Happy works at a supermarket and lives with his only daughter and youngest child Vienna, while his four sons—Gordie, Wayne, Bobby, and Terry—have all moved out and are working to support their father and sister. Vienna wants to pursue dancing, and her dance teacher recommends enrolling in a four-year ballet school in Paris, which costs \$75,000 annually. Frank Manatee, CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and the upcoming golf league Maxi Golf, later approaches Happy and wants him to be the league's star. Happy refuses but resumes playing golf with encouragement from [John Daly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Daly_$golfer$ "John Daly (golfer)"), wanting to win enough money to put Vienna through ballet school. During his first round since Virginia died, Happy drinks heavily and crashes his golf cart, which gets him fired from his job and in legal trouble. A jury agrees to remove all charges if he completes an [alcohol treatment program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_rehabilitation "Drug rehabilitation") and refrains from any physical altercations. This treatment program's leader turns out to be Hal L., the caretaker who forced Happy's grandmother into [sweat shop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweat_shop "Sweat shop") labor.[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Vienna and John advise Happy to practice seriously and to join the next Tour Championship, which he does. One month later, Happy meets old companions, including Doug Thompson, president of the Tour, who worries about Maxi Golf rising fast. After Happy suggests having a competition between the two leagues, Doug proposes a match with the five best players from each league competing against each other. Happy, with help from his new caddie, Oscar Mejías, plays well at the Tour Championship in the first three rounds, but collapses in the fourth round on Mother's Day, seeing visions of Virginia on the course before getting drunk, finishing sixth. The winner, Billy Jenkins, admits to being in Maxi Golf, having participated in the Tour Championship as a taunt, vacating his place on the team and enabling Happy to join. Having been in psychiatric care since losing to Happy at the 1996 Tour Championship,[\[a\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-HG1-4) Shooter McGavin is granted a release by Frank. He explains to Shooter that all players on Maxi Golf, including Billy, have their [iliolumbar ligament](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliolumbar_ligament "Iliolumbar ligament") severed, increasing their driving distance, and asks him to join as their captain. Disgusted with this and how Frank's "extreme" version of golf highly strays from the traditional game, Shooter escapes. Having heard about Virginia's death, Shooter visits her grave and briefly fights Happy there before they call a truce. Happy later meets Slim Peterson, whose father Chubbs Peterson had mentored Happy in 1996, and Slim joins Shooter in coaching Happy, [Rory McIlroy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_McIlroy "Rory McIlroy"), [Bryson DeChambeau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryson_DeChambeau "Bryson DeChambeau"), [Brooks Koepka](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Koepka "Brooks Koepka") and [Scottie Scheffler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottie_Scheffler "Scottie Scheffler") to face Maxi Golf. During the match, Scottie gets disqualified in the first round for punching his opponent. Although the course is heavily designed to advantage Maxi Golf, as all their golfers are long drivers, the traditional golfers manage to make it 2–2, with the help of Shooter, who replaces Brooks after he gets injured. Happy and Billy then face off in a tie-breaker. Happy has a chance to putt for victory, but Frank alters the green to make it impossible to putt. He then makes a deal with Happy: if Happy misses the putt, Happy must join Maxi Golf. Otherwise, Frank must discontinue Maxi Golf, buy Happy's house back, pay for Vienna's ballet school, give Happy his new [Rolls-Royce Spectre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Spectre "Rolls-Royce Spectre"), and open a new Italian restaurant for Oscar. With help from the lattermost, Happy sinks the putt and wins. When Happy celebrates his three-month sobriety, Hal is exposed as a con artist and gets arrested. Maxi Energy Drink is discontinued after being revealed to cause significant oral health issues, leaving Frank in ruin and in hiding. Happy later accompanies his family at an airport as they fly off to Paris, promising to join them after completing the [British Open](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Open "British Open"), but is forced to walk, having forgotten to charge the electric Rolls-Royce, as he waves to visions of various people from his past. - [Adam Sandler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Sandler "Adam Sandler") as Happy Gilmore, a golfer who comes out of retirement - [Julie Bowen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Bowen "Julie Bowen") as Virginia Venit Gilmore, Happy's deceased wife - [Christopher McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McDonald "Christopher McDonald") as Shooter McGavin, Happy's former rival who suffered a mental breakdown following his defeat at the Tour Championship at the end of the first film - [Benny Safdie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Safdie "Benny Safdie") as Frank Manatee, the CEO of Maxi Energy Drink and sponsor of Maxi Golf - [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny") as Oscar Mejías, Happy's caddy and a former busboy who dreams of owning a restaurant - [John Daly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Daly_$golfer$ "John Daly (golfer)") as a fictionalized version of himself, a hermit who lives in Happy's garage - [Ben Stiller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Stiller "Ben Stiller") as Haloysius "Hal L."

Weathers' death forced a heavy rewrite with Chubbs instead being given tributes throughout the film and Slim having already forgiven Happy and reduced to a smaller supporting role.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-9) Other actors, who had died since the first film that are given tributes, include [Frances Bay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Bay "Frances Bay") who played Grandma Anna Gilmore, [Richard Kiel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kiel "Richard Kiel") who played Mr. Larson, gameshow host [Bob Barker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barker "Bob Barker") who played himself and [Joe Flaherty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Flaherty "Joe Flaherty") who played Donald the "Jackass" Guy, each of whom died in 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024, respectively. An indirect tribute was given to [Dustin Diamond](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dustin_Diamond "Dustin Diamond") (who died in 2021), due to the Maxi Golf character Screech being confused for Diamond's character of the same name from [Saved by the Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saved_by_the_Bell "Saved by the Bell"), despite Diamond and Sandler having never worked together. In March 2024, [Christopher McDonald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McDonald "Christopher McDonald") revealed that a sequel was in development, and that Sandler had shown him a draft of the script to read.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-10) During development, the [LIV Golf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIV_Golf "LIV Golf") league was founded by the [Saudi Arabia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia "Saudi Arabia") [Public Investment Fund](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Investment_Fund "Public Investment Fund") to rival the [PGA Tour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGA_Tour "PGA Tour"), giving inspirations to the film's storyline of the rivalry between the Tour and Maxi Golf.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-LIV-11) In May 2024, it was announced that [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") greenlit the film, which the first film was distributed by [Universal Pictures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Pictures "Universal Pictures").[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-12) [Kyle Newacheck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Newacheck "Kyle Newacheck") was hired to direct the film, with [Tim Herlihy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Herlihy "Tim Herlihy") co-writing the screenplay with Sandler. In July, [Nick Swardson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Swardson "Nick Swardson") announced he would star in the film.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-13) In August, Sandler revealed [Benny Safdie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_Safdie "Benny Safdie") would have a role in the film,[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-14) with football player [Travis Kelce](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Kelce "Travis Kelce") set to make a cameo.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-15) In September, McDonald and [Julie Bowen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Bowen "Julie Bowen") were confirmed to be reprising their roles, with [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny"), [Margaret Qualley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Qualley "Margaret Qualley"), and [Maxwell Jacob Friedman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Jacob_Friedman "Maxwell Jacob Friedman") added to the cast.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-16)[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-17)[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-18) [John Daly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Daly_$golfer$ "John Daly (golfer)") revealed his own involvement with the film.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-19) [Principal photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography "Principal photography") began on September 9, 2024, in [New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey "New Jersey"), coinciding with Sandler's 58th birthday.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-20) A casting call took place at a hotel in [Morristown, New Jersey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morristown,_New_Jersey "Morristown, New Jersey").[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-21) Filming locations in New Jersey include a country club in [Bedminster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedminster,_New_Jersey "Bedminster, New Jersey"),[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-22) a burger shop in [Garfield](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfield,_New_Jersey "Garfield, New Jersey"),[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-23) a golf center in [Hackettstown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackettstown,_New_Jersey "Hackettstown, New Jersey"),[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-24) a nail salon in [Maplewood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maplewood,_New_Jersey "Maplewood, New Jersey"),[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-:1-25) a beach in [Middletown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middletown_Township,_New_Jersey "Middletown Township, New Jersey"),[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-26) a deli in [Millburn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millburn,_New_Jersey "Millburn, New Jersey"),[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-:0-27) a French restaurant in [Montclair](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montclair,_New_Jersey "Montclair, New Jersey"),[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-:0-27) a cafe in [Morristown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morristown,_New_Jersey "Morristown, New Jersey"),[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-28) a public school in [Newark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark,_New_Jersey "Newark, New Jersey"),[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-29) [Seton Hall University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seton_Hall_University "Seton Hall University") in [South Orange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Orange,_New_Jersey "South Orange, New Jersey"),[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-:1-25) Montclair Golf Club in [West Orange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Orange,_New_Jersey "West Orange, New Jersey"),[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-:0-27) Verona Town Hall in [Verona Township](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verona,_New_Jersey "Verona, New Jersey"),[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-30) a boys & girls club in [Kearny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kearny,_New_Jersey "Kearny, New Jersey"), and a [Stop & Shop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_%26_Shop "Stop & Shop") supermarket in [Clifton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifton,_New_Jersey "Clifton, New Jersey").

One promotional effort involved the replacement of the [Times Square Ball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square_Ball "Times Square Ball") at [One Times Square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Times_Square "One Times Square") in New York City with a Happy Gilmore golf ball.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-36)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-adweek-32) On the [review aggregator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Review_aggregator "Review aggregator") website [Rotten Tomatoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_Tomatoes "Rotten Tomatoes"), 62% of 122 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "With Adam Sandler and company clearly having a good time, Happy Gilmore 2 thwacks hard with nostalgia when it should've putted but will still put fans of the original back in their happy place."[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-Rotten_Tomatoes-37) [Metacritic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacritic "Metacritic"), which uses a [weighted average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean "Weighted arithmetic mean"), assigned the film a score of 52 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-Metacritic-38) [Richard Roeper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roeper "Richard Roeper") of [RogerEbert.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RogerEbert.com "RogerEbert.com") gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "The scatological 'humor' is as low-brow as it gets; either you find it funny or you don't. I've never been a huge fan of that ... stuff, but the physical, [Three Stooges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges "The Three Stooges") material has a certain, admittedly dumb, slapstick appeal. Still, Happy Gilmore makes par through the strength of its sheer stupid energy and the game efforts of Sandler and his 50 or so co-stars. It's good to be back in that Happy Place."[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-39) Conversely, [Frank Scheck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Scheck "Frank Scheck") of [The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter") said, "Other than a running gag revolving around Happy's use of every possible object as a liquor container, the film's main humor involves people being painfully hit by golf balls. By the time the movie ends and you've been assaulted by one tired gag after another, you'll know exactly how they feel."[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-ReviewTHR-40) Liz Shannon Miller of [Consequence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequence_$publication$ "Consequence (publication)") gave the film a B− and commented "Between Happy's family life and a whole new series of challenges for him to tackle, there's enough freshness to the plot to keep it from feeling like a total rehash of what came before, while still delivering wild golf stunts and a huge range of cameos."[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_note-41) 1. ^ [*a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_ref-HG1_4-0) [b](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_ref-HG1_4-1) [c](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore_2#cite_ref-HG1_4-2) As depicted in [Happy Gilmore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Gilmore "Happy Gilmore")* 1.
