John Daly drops major hints about his role alongside Travis Kelce in Happy Gilmore 2 and announces its Netflix release date

PGA Tour cult icon John Daly reveals whether he will swap the fairways for the screen this week.

Hollywood star Adam Sandler is giving his cult 1996 golf film a reboot and revealed in March that Happy Gilmore 2 is in the works.

And while fans wait for more news on the slapstick golf film, rumors are swirling about who might star in the highly anticipated sequel.

NFL star Travis Kelce has already hinted at his participation in the reboot, while players like Bryson DeChambeau, Paige Spiranac and even Tiger Woods have been linked to guest appearances.

Now Daly has added his name to the list as he has confirmed his role in the upcoming blockbuster.

“I’ve already filmed,” Daly told OutKick’s Mike Gunzelman. “We Can Do It.” Coming out on Netflix, maybe March, April next year.”

Sandler revealed in May that the 58-year-old might make a cameo appearance after providing inspiration for storylines.

The screen star said his longtime collaborator Tim Herlihy traveled to the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, where he chatted with the cigarette-smoking, Diet Coke-drinking two-time major winner.

“I’d like to think so,” Sandler said of Daly when Dan Patrick asked if the golfer would have a role in the film. “I love him. I have always loved him.’

Sandler will reprise his role as Happy Gilmore and confirmed that the popular title character will still be retained in the storyline.

Production began on September 9th and Christopher McDonald will reprise the role of Gilmore’s rival Shooter McGavin, while Julie Bowen will return to her role as the love interest.

Sandler said the reboot will be about the golfer “being a little older now and still trying to compete with the younger guys.”

Lee Trevino was the only notable golfer to appear in the original, while TV personality Bob Barker, who died last year, and sports commentator Verne Lundquist, who called his final Masters tournament last month, made notable guest appearances.
