Adam Sandler Is Back on the Green

It’s the news comedy fans have been waiting decades to hear — Happy Gilmore 2 is officially happening. The legendary 1996 film that made golf hilarious and turned Adam Sandler into a megastar is finally getting a sequel.

Confirmation came from actor Christopher McDonald (aka Shooter McGavin) during a podcast appearance. He revealed that Adam Sandler personally showed him a draft of the script just weeks ago, proving the sequel is real and in development.

“I saw Adam about two weeks ago and he showed me the first draft of Happy Gilmore 2. It’s happening,” — McDonald said on The Ken Carman Show.

What’s the Plot?

No official plot has been released yet, but here are a few fan theories:

• Happy is now a retired golf legend — or a controversial coach?
• Shooter McGavin wants revenge after years in hiding
• Tributes to Chubbs (played by the late Carl Weathers)
• New characters bringing modern chaos to the golf world

Internet Reactions

Fans exploded on social media after the confirmation:

🎯 “This is gonna break Netflix if it drops there!”
🏌️‍♂️ “Happy vs Shooter. The rematch I never knew I needed.”
😂 “Bob Barker better come back from the dead for this one!”

Why It Matters

Happy Gilmore isn’t just another comedy. It’s a pop culture phenomenon. With constant memes, references in sports culture, and Sandler’s lasting fanbase, a sequel was always inevitable — it just took nearly 30 years.

This could be Sandler’s biggest comedy since Grown Ups or Uncut Gems, especially with a blend of nostalgia and modern absurdity.
