The Happy Gilmore 2 Cast:

Remind me what happened at the end of Happy Gilmore?

At the end of the original Happy GilmoreSandler’s title character had, after a long, exhausting golf season (and a violent fight with The price is hotBob Barker of the Tour Championship). Aiming to raise enough money to pay off his grandmother’s years of unpaid taxes to the IRS (oops), the failed hockey player showed off his skills on the road and was the most unconventional golfer the Tour Championship had ever seen.

Along the way, Happy gained allies (the late, great Carl Weathers‘ one-handed Chubbs Petersen and a homeless caddy played by Allen Covert) and enemies (Christopher McDonald’s arrogant Shooter McGavin and the aforementioned Bob Barker), but ultimately he triumphed despite seemingly insurmountable odds. He showed the golf snobs who’s boss, saved his grandmother’s house, and finally returned home.

It’s currently unclear how the film will revive Gilmore’s golf career, but one thing is certain: at least in the real world, Happy Gilmore is a legend. Even the best golfers in the world agree.
