Golf influencer Paige Spiranac had an “insane” reaction after seeing herself in the newly released Happy Gilmore 2 trailer. The highly anticipated sequel to Adam Sandler’s legendary 1996 golf comedy is set to premiere on Netflix on July 25, 2025. Spiranac, a longtime fan of the original movie, plays a venue staffer in the sequel and was left in awe of Sandler’s on-screen power swing.
Stunning Moment in the Trailer
In one of the trailer’s standout moments, Happy Gilmore (played by Sandler) steps up for a virtual golf challenge. As he delivers his signature power shot, the ball smashes through the game screen, shocking the crowd. Among those watching is Spiranac, whose reaction—an entertaining mix of disbelief and amusement—perfectly captures the intensity of the scene before the audience erupts into laughter and cheers.
Spiranac wasted no time sharing her excitement on social media. She reposted the trailer on X (formerly Twitter), writing:
“The fact that I’m in the Happy Gilmore 2 movie is actually insane lol check me out in the trailer!”
Her brief cameo has already gone viral, with golf fans thrilled to see her in the film alongside some of the biggest names in the sport, including Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Justin Thomas. Even NFL star Travis Kelce makes an appearance.
A Dream Come True for Spiranac
Spiranac had been campaigning for a role in Happy Gilmore 2 for quite some time. In 2024, she recreated Julie Bowen’s famous “Happy Place” scene from the original movie, playfully posing in white lingerie while holding two beer jugs. When fans suggested she should be in the sequel, she responded, “I was born ready.”
Her persistence paid off, and now she joins a star-studded cast that includes Sandler, Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and Christopher McDonald, who reprises his role as the infamous Shooter McGavin.
A Highly Anticipated Sequel
Happy Gilmore 2 marks Sandler’s return to the role nearly 30 years after the original movie’s release. The film will follow Gilmore as he takes another swing at the professional golf circuit, facing off against new rivals while revisiting old enemies.
Fans of the original film have been buzzing about the sequel ever since Sandler confirmed it was in the works. The trailer, which features nostalgic callbacks and hilarious new moments, has only heightened anticipation. With Spiranac’s unexpected cameo and Sandler’s still-impressive power swing, Happy Gilmore 2 is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s biggest comedy hits of the year.
For now, Spiranac and fans alike are eagerly counting down the days until the movie’s release, wondering just how much chaos Happy Gilmore will bring to the golf world this time around.
