Who is in the cast of Happy Gilmore 2?
The golf comedy will reunite Sandler with co-stars Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald , who will reprise their roles. Bowen will return as Virginia Venit, a former PGA Tour PR agent who becomes Happy’s love interest, and McDonald will once again play eccentric pro golfer Shooter McGavin, who, out of jealousy, tries to sabotage Happy’s rise to fame.
In April 2024, while appearing on The Dan Patrick Show, Sandler expressed interest in having comedian Drew Carey appear in the film after Bob Barker , Carey’s predecessor on The Price Is Right, appeared in the original film. Patrick also confirmed on the show that he would star in the film.

“When we wrote the script, Bob [Barker] was alive,” Sandler said. “When we wrote it, Carl Weathers was alive. When we wrote it, Joe Flaherty was alive. It’s terrifying. We love these people. They’re important to the movie and they’re just wonderful people. But we’re going to bring them in. One way or another, they’re going to be involved.”
Barker passed away in 2023, while Weathers and Flaherty passed away this year.
Bad Bunny , who made his film debut with roles in films like ER (2022) and Cassandro (2023), has been confirmed for an unspecified role in Happy Gilmore 2. “Benito 🤝 Sandler,” X’s post read, using Bad Bunny’s real name, Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio. “Benito Martinez Ocasio is set to star in Happy Gilmore 2!”
In August 2024, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sandler teased the appearance of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who has appeared on Ryan Murphy’s FX show Grotesquerie and will host a new spinoff, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, premiering in October. “Travis mentioned it, so we had some fun stuff in store for Travis,” he said.
