Jordan Spieth has confirmed that he will be one of the professional players in the appearing in the movie Happy Gilmore 2. Spieth also confirmed the names of other major world golf stars as part of the film's cast.

Spieth made the comments during an interview with Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio's Gravy & The Sleeze show. According to the three-time major champion, Happy Gilmore 2 is working with some of the biggest names in golf, both historic and current.

This was part of what Jordan Spieth had to say:

"I was up there with Rickie [Fowler]... when I was up there it was like Lee Trevino, [Jack] Nicklaus, Freddy [Fred Couples], Corey Pavin... In our scene next to me it was Rickie, and Collin [Morikawa], and Xander [Schauffele], and Keegan [Bradley]."

He added:

"It was really fun, super cool to see, you know... there's a lot of other guys that were before and after, that have bigger parts, but, it was just wildly entertaining."

The news that production on Happy Gilmore 2 has begun was announced last March by actor Christopher McDonald, who plays the character of Shooter McGavin.

Much of the original cast will return for the sequel, including McDonald himself, Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore), Julie Bowen (Virginia Venit), Allen Covert (Otto), Dennis Dugan (Doug Thompson), and Ben Stiller (Hal).

Other stars who will appear in Happy Gilmore 2

The list of celebrities who will have a moment in Happy Gilmore 2 is quite long. It includes both professional golfers and stars from other sports, and even two music stars.

So far, it has been confirmed that 2-time major champion John Daly will be another golf legend to appear in the movie. National Football League (NFL) star Travis Kelce will also make a cameo appearance. Musicians who will appear in Happy Gilmore 2 are Eminem and Bad Bunny.

Since news of the movie's production broke, fans have been clamoring for the presence of Tiger Woods and Paige Spiranac. Of the 15-time major champion, director and star Adam Sandler had this to say last May (via The Sun):

"I would love it. We'll see. I'm gonna write all my dreams and then you never know what's gonna happen."

Since then, however, nothing has been said about the possibility of Woods making a cameo or having a role in the movie.

Something similar happened with Paige Spiranac. The production has not alluded to the possibility of her appearing in the film, but a few months ago, the golf influencer responded to fan interest by posting a picture of herself playing a scene from Happy Gilmore on her X (formerly Twitter) account, saying she was "born ready."

Happy Gilmore premiered in 1996. Although it was not well received by critics, it has a cult following in the golf community, especially in the United States.
