When John Daly steps onto a golf course, chaos often follows. The 58-year-old has built his legacy not only on the greens but in the larger-than-life persona he’s crafted over the years. Known for his powerful drives, colorful outfits, and unpredictable behavior, Daly continues to surprise his fans – not just with his golf game, but now with a new twist in his career. After years of rumors swirling about a potential Happy Gilmore sequel, the iconic golfer has all but confirmed his role in the film, leaving fans eager to see him on the big screen once again.

The original Happy Gilmore, released in 1996, has remained a cult classic, thanks to Adam Sandler’s portrayal of a hockey player turned golfer with an unorthodox style. The film’s blend of humor and sports made it a staple for fans of both genres. With whispers of a sequel growing louder, it seems Sandler’s plans are coming to fruition, and Daly’s recent comments have only added fuel to the fire. But Daly isn’t the only big name linked to the project – the NFL’s Travis Kelce is set to join the party too, bringing his own star power to the highly anticipated movie.

Speaking on the popular podcast Outkick, Daly revealed that he has already filmed his part in the movie. When asked about when fans can expect the sequel, he teased that it might hit Netflix as early as March or April of next year. He didn’t give away too many details but managed to keep the excitement brewing by flashing a knowing smile and motioning for silence. “I’ve already filmed. We’re getting it done,” Daly said, playfully hinting at what could be a major release next spring.

While the sequel will include familiar faces from the golf world, it’s the addition of NFL superstar Travis Kelce that has sports and entertainment fans buzzing. The three-time Super Bowl champion, known for his charisma both on and off the field, is set to play a role in Happy Gilmore 2. Kelce has already made a name for himself in Hollywood, landing a role in the upcoming FX horror series Grotesquerie, directed by Ryan Murphy. But his excitement for Happy Gilmore appears unmatched, as Kelce himself had previously joked about wanting a role in the sequel, even if it meant being an extra just to be part of the experience.

Adam Sandler, the man behind Happy Gilmore, didn’t hold back in his praise for Kelce, confirming his involvement. “Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for him. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life,” Sandler shared. “What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.” Sandler’s words have only raised expectations for Kelce’s role, leaving fans curious to see what kind of comedic or dramatic turn the tight end will bring to the sequel.

Travis Kelce’s Swift Rise: NFL star joins Happy Gilmore 2 cast amid Hollywood buzz

Kelce’s recent rise in popularity has been due in no small part to his high-profile relationship with music sensation Taylor Swift. The pairing has brought him into the spotlight outside of football, adding to his expanding resume in entertainment. Now, his leap into acting could mark a major shift in his post-NFL career, especially with Happy Gilmore 2 expected to feature a star-studded cast, including appearances from other sporting legends.

The movie will also see the return of Shooter McGavin, played by David McDonald, who famously battled Sandler’s character in the original film. Fan-favorite Dan Patrick will return as well, reprising his role as a sports commentator, while also teasing that his co-hosts, known as the Danettes, may get some screen time as extras.

Daly’s confirmation of his involvement, along with Kelce’s excitement for the project, has fans of both sports and comedy eagerly awaiting more news. With a release date likely set for 2024, the film promises to be a celebration of everything that made the first Happy Gilmore such a hit: over-the-top antics, sports cameos, and the timeless appeal of Sandler’s comedy.

While the official title remains under wraps, the buzz surrounding Happy Gilmore 2 continues to build. With Travis Kelce and John Daly on board, it looks like the film is shaping up to be a must-watch for both sports fans and moviegoers alike.
