Watch Travis Kelce Make a Cameo Alongside Adam Sandler in ...
The film will premiere on Netflix in 2025.
Adam Sandler wished fans a merry Christmas with a happy new Happy Gilmore 2 teaser, which features a snippet of Travis Kelce‘s cameo in the highly anticipated sequel.
In a 45-second video posted on Christmas Day, the comedian finally reprises his role as golf prodigy Happy Gilmore — nearly 30 years after the original film premiered in 1996 — while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end originates his own role in the franchise. The clip opens with Happy joyously stepping back onto the green and taking swings as fans cheer him on, after which Kelce — his hair slicked back and his mustache well-trimmed — greets him inside what appears to be a private club.
“It’s great to see you back, Mr. Gilmore,” the football player says with a smile, dressed in uniform in a black tie and red vest, as Happy looks on.
As seen in flashes throughout the rest of the teaser, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald will also reprise their Happy Gilmore roles. The sequel does not yet have an exact release date, but will premiere on Netflix at some point in 2025.
“Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!” Sandler wrote, sharing the clip on Instagram. “And Happy Gilmore to all!!!!!!”
Fans have been waiting to see Kelce join the world of Happy Gilmore since August, when the Grown Ups actor first revealed that the NFL star would be joining the second film’s cast. Shortly afterward, Sandler joined Kelce on the latter’s New Heights podcast to discuss the project, gushing, “The scene [Travis is] doing is with so many great golfers. It’s gonna be amazing. You’re gonna be funny as hell.”
The three-time Super Bowl champion has taken on a number of onscreen projects in 2024, including a leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Grotesquerie series on FX. He also kicked off his first season as host of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spinoff of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.
