The first trailer for “Happy Gilmore 2” (2025) marks the return of Adam Sandler in one of his most iconic comedic roles. After more than two decades, Happy is back on the green, and this time, the stakes are higher, the laughs are louder, and the antics are wilder than ever before.
The trailer opens with a nostalgic shot of a golf course, with Happy’s unforgettable hockey-style golf swing breaking the silence. As the ball soars into the air, the familiar tune of “Tuesday’s Gone” by Lynyrd Skynyrd plays, throwing fans right back into the humor and chaos of the original movie. A voiceover says: “Some things never change… except the game.”
Cut to Happy Gilmore, older but still just as competitive, donning his signature hockey jersey and golf shoes. He’s now a legend in the world of golf, but retirement doesn’t seem to suit him. The peaceful life doesn’t last long as Happy is pulled back into the world of golf by a new challenge—an up-and-coming golf prodigy who threatens to shatter all of Happy’s long-standing records.
The trailer shifts into quick clips of Happy reluctantly agreeing to coach the young golfer, leading to hilarious training montages filled with awkward swings, explosive temper tantrums, and, of course, Happy’s unconventional methods. Happy tries to balance being a mentor while still holding onto his own competitive spirit, causing plenty of comedic tension.
We also see glimpses of returning characters, including Chubbs Peterson Jr., son of the late Chubbs (played by Carl Weathers), and Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald), still scheming and as arrogant as ever, but this time with a new twist—he’s now a golf course owner looking to bring Happy down one last time.
The trailer is packed with classic Happy Gilmore humor: golf club fights, wild one-liners, and slapstick moments that feel both fresh and familiar. There are nods to memorable scenes from the first film, like Happy attempting a hockey fight on the course and his infamous short temper.
The final scene shows Happy lining up for a putt, turning to the camera with a wink, and saying: “Did you miss me?” He swings, and the screen goes black, leaving fans eager for what’s to come.
The title “Happy Gilmore 2” flashes across the screen, with the tagline: “The legend is back, but the game has changed.”
Set for release in 2025, “Happy Gilmore 2” promises to deliver laughs, nostalgia, and the same irreverent charm that made the original a comedy classic.
