Adam Sandler said that he would 'love' to see John Daly and Tiger Woods in the sequel

Apart from the aforementioned names, several other golf icons may also be seen in the film.

In a September interview with ESPN SportsCenter, Adam Sandler said that his long-time collaborator went and met John Daly during the 2024 PGA Championship, via Whiskey Riff:

"(Tim) Herlihy, he went down to the tournament this weekend and hung out with some of the guys. He hung out with Daly a little bit and Daly was telling some great stories. We’re ready, baby. We’re excited."

When asked if there are chances if Tiger Woods can also be seen in the movie, he said:

"I would love it. We'll see. I'm gonna write all my dreams, and then you never know what’s gonna happen. But we’re gonna [try]."

In the interview, he said that he was exploring ideas for the story, likely centered on Happy competing on the PGA Tour in the later stages of his career against younger golfers.

"We have a million things like I told you, but I’ve just got to kind of make it flow a little more. But I think it might have to do with something to do with me being a little older now and still trying to compete with the youngsters," he added.

The official release date of the sequel of Happy Gilmore hasn't been announced yet.
