In the trailer, we can see glimpses of pro golfers like Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy and a scene where John Daly can be seen advising Happy Gilmore to:

"Come on brother, grip it and rip it."

Happy Gilmore first came out in 1996 and was loved by fans worldwide. Now, after almost 30 years, the sequel to this film is set to be released, with fans eagerly waiting to see how Happy Gilmore's golfing career progresses.

At the end of the original Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler's character was at rest after a long season of golf, where he emerged as the champion to win the 1996 Tour Championship. The failed hockey player was on a mission to raise money to pay the IRS for his grandmother's years of delinquent back taxes.

While discovering his skills as a golfer, Happy made some great friends like Chubbs Petersen and his homeless caddy. However, he also made some enemies like Shooter McGavin and Bob Barker, who he ultimately got the better of and won the 1996 Tour Championship.

He eventually managed to save his grandmother's house and returned to live there. The storyline for Happy Gilmore 2 is still unclear, but it is evident from the trailer that Happy is trying to resurrect his golfing career. So, it will be interesting to see how fans perceive this film and if it receives the same amount of love the original movie received.
