Golf influencer and mega-hottie Paige Spiranac is over the moon after landing a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, the long-awaited sequel to Adam Sandler’s 1996 cult classic.
Who wouldn’t be?
Spiranac makes a brief appearance at the end of the just-released trailer. I’m sad to admit that I totally missed it when covering the video earlier this week. How is that even possible?
Spiranac, in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment as a Dick’s Sporting Goods employee, reacts with shock as Happy smashes a golf simulator screen with his drive, even as the fans surrounding him cheer the destruction.

Paige Spiranac Is Happy To Be Part Of The Happy Gilmore Sequel
Paige’s appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 is an apt nod to her real-life golf expertise and massive online following of over 4 million on Instagram.
Even with that success, Spiranac is giddy about being involved.
“The fact that I’m in the Happy Gilmore 2 movie is actually insane lol check me out in the trailer!” she wrote on X.
Paige Spiranac’s appearance adds a fresh layer of hype to a film already teeing up nostalgia and chaos in equal measure.
And the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model isn’t the only golf star who made a cameo appearance in the movie.

Cameos Galore
Whatever comes of the new movie, it’s clear there will be a ton of cameos and surprises. John Daly shows up in the same trailer as Paige Spiranac.
“Come on, brother. Grip it and rip it,” he tells the movie’s hero.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was spotted in the previous teaser trailer. Kelce slides in as a country club attendant of some sort, what with that Uncle Rico haircut and all, looking more like a character out of Oppenheimer.
Happy Gilmore 2 seeks to revive the charm of the 1996 cult classic, in which Sandler portrayed a washed-up hockey player who discovers his wicked slapshot translates into mega-long drives.
The original film skyrocketed to fame thanks to its sharp humor, quotable one-liners, and Sandler’s wild, larger-than-life antics.
Sandler is not the only one returning for the film; Julie Bowen reprises her role as Virginia Venit, and Christopher McDonald is back as the ever-amusing Shooter McGavin.
In the nearly three decades since it premiered, Happy Gilmore has enjoyed consistent airplay as a classic film with one-liners and quotes that have endured the test of time.
Everybody remembers Sandler telling Bob Barker: “The price is wrong, b—.”
Will there be new catchphrases we’ll all repeat for years to come in the sequel? Will you go see the movie? I’d see it just to see Paige Spiranac, even if it turns out she’s only on screen for 10 seconds.
