A new “Happy Gilmore” movie is on the way at Netflix, with Adam Sandler reprising his iconic role as the angry golfer with a slapshot for the ages.
As we all eagerly await Sandler’s return to the green as his ornery golf great, it’s very fair to wonder which professional golfers might make an appearance in the new film.
While we’re sure the infamous Shooter McGavin will probably find his way into this new movie at some point, there are five real golfers that we’d love to see play on the links with Gilmore in this new comedy sequel.
Let’s list them out and talk about why they’d be great for supporting roles in the new movie.
