Happy Gilmore Movies: Release Order
The Happy Gilmore series follows the unconventional golf career of Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler), a failed hockey player whose powerful slap-shot swing translates into massive drives on the golf course. The original film became a cultural touchstone, blending slapstick comedy with genuine heart as Happy battles his nemesis Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) while learning to control his legendary temper.
Nearly 30 years later, the sequel finds an older Happy returning to professional golf to raise money for his daughter's ballet school tuition. Happy Gilmore 2 reunites Sandler with McDonald and Julie Bowen while featuring an impressive roster of real PGA Tour stars including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and John Daly, plus celebrity cameos from Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, and Eminem.
