Paige Spiranac is set to make her acting debut in the highly anticipated Netflix sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, alongside Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Bad Bunny, and other major stars.
The former professional golfer and social media sensation took to X to share her excitement about joining the star-studded cast. While she hasn’t disclosed specific details about her character, fans got a glimpse of her in the official trailer, hinting at her role in helping Happy Gilmore (Sandler) with his golf swing at a simulator. The brief scene suggests her character is full of positive energy, celebrating alongside the accident-prone golfer as he causes chaos in true Happy Gilmore fashion.
Fans will have to wait until Happy Gilmore 2 premieres on Netflix on Friday, July 25, to see exactly how Spiranac fits into the story. In the meantime, she can also be seen in Netflix’s Full Swing Season 3, where she shares her insights on professional golfers like Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler. In the docuseries, Spiranac opens up about how her perception of DeChambeau changed over time.
“I was one of Bryson’s biggest haters,” the 31-year-old admitted in Full Swing. “I feel so guilty about that after getting to really know him and seeing a whole different side of him. I learned a really big lesson that what you see on social media isn’t the full story.”
She also praises DeChambeau for his ability to use social media to his advantage, attracting a whole new fan base. “He’s leveraged social media into now a completely new fan base,” she said.
Between her golfing expertise and industry knowledge, it’s no surprise Spiranac was cast in Happy Gilmore 2. Whether she offers Gilmore golf tips or simply shares in his antics, her role is sure to add to the fun.
Fans can catch Spiranac and the rest of the cast when Happy Gilmore 2 premieres this July on Netflix.
