Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2 premiere date revealed - REPORT

One of the biggest golf movies of all time has a sequel on the way: Happy Gilmore 2. This movie was announced a long time ago, but Netflix has officially revealed when fans of the first movie will get their chance to watch the long-awaited sequel.

Per Discussing Film, the movie will drop on the streaming platform on July 25. It is not expected to get even a limited theatrical release since Netflix has a partnership with leading actor and co-writer Adam Sandler.

Sandler has largely been making movies on Netflix for a while. He did Hustle and Spaceman within the last few years, and he's now got Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to his decades-old golf movie as well.

Sandler is very passionate about sports, as many of his recent films are about or revolve around the athletic world. Hustle and Uncut Gems fit this criteria, but so do older films of his like The Waterboy, The Longest Yard, and the original Happy Gilmore.

Netflix is also getting more involved with sports, especially golf. They've given Sandler the ability to make some sports-related movies, and they've been releasing seasons of Full Swing, the docuseries around golf, for years now.
