Adam Sandler reveals that golf legend Jack Nicklaus will make an appearance in the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2, alongside other notable golfers and celebrities. The announcement came during Sandler's appearance on The Dan Patrick Show following the completion of filming on December 6.

Nicklaus spent two days on set, participating in a scene where he sits next to Sandler. The actor shared his admiration for the 18-time Major winner, describing their interaction as a memorable experience that reminded him of his father's respect for Nicklaus.

The sequel, coming nearly 30 years after the 1996 original, features several returning cast members including Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin and Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit. John Daly has also confirmed his role in the Netflix production.

The plot follows an older Happy Gilmore who's been playing golf for many years but finds himself in a difficult situation, requiring him to rebuild his life. Most of the golf scenes were filmed at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster.

Additional cameos include rapper Eminem and Benny Safdie, who previously directed Sandler in Uncut Gems. While early speculation suggested a spring 2024 release to coincide with The Masters, Sandler indicated the film is more likely to premiere in July 2024.
