The Original Creative Team Is Back
The magic behind the first Happy Gilmore is returning too!
- Tim Herlihy, the co-writer of the original, is back to write Happy Gilmore 2.

A Quick Refresher: What Happened at the End of Happy Gilmore
In case you need a reminder, Happy Gilmore (1996) ended with Happy saving his grandmother’s house from foreclosure — and defeating golf snob Shooter McGavin in an unforgettable championship match.
Happy’s journey started out of desperation (he needed cash fast!) but ended with him proving that heart and hustle matter more than high society polish. He also survived a wild brawl with Bob Barker on a golf course — one of the most iconic fight scenes in comedy history.
The original movie left Happy at peace, having earned respect, love, and a whole lot of bruises.
What’s the Story for Happy Gilmore 2
While plot details are still under wraps, one thing is clear: Happy’s story isn’t over.
The teaser hints at Happy being drawn back into the world of competitive golf, with some hilarious twists and new rivalries. Considering how many golf pros are joining the film, it’s safe to say that Happy’s new adventure will be bigger — and crazier — than ever.
And knowing Sandler, there will definitely be laughs, heartwarming moments, and epic golf battles.
