Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) marks the hilarious return of Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore, the eccentric hockey-player-turned-golfer who won over audiences with his unconventional style and offbeat humor. Now, years after his first victory on the pro golf tour, Happy has settled into a quieter life, managing a golf course and enjoying a much more relaxed lifestyle with his wife, Virginia (Julie Bowen). However, Happy’s peaceful retirement is thrown into chaos when a new, younger generation of golfers emerges, led by a cocky social media star who challenges Happy’s legacy.
The story kicks off with Happy being drawn back into the world of professional golf after his course is threatened by a billionaire developer looking to turn it into a luxury resort. The only way Happy can save it is by entering a high-stakes golf tournament and proving that he’s still got what it takes to compete with the best. The tournament, however, is no ordinary event—it’s a flashy, televised spectacle filled with trick shots, bizarre challenges, and outrageous competitors.
Throughout the film, Happy struggles to adapt to the modern, social media-driven world of golf, where viral moments and endorsements seem to matter more than skill. His old-school ways clash with the younger generation, but with the help of his old coach Chubbs (Carl Weathers) and his loyal caddy, he starts to rediscover the passion that made him a legend.
Filled with classic Happy Gilmore humor—wild swings, fistfights on the green, and over-the-top antics—the film also explores themes of legacy, family, and finding your place in a world that’s constantly changing. Happy Gilmore 2 delivers a blend of nostalgia and fresh laughs, promising to entertain both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers.
