Scottie Scheffler Arrested on Assault, Mischief Charges in 2024

The Netflix sequel 'Happy Gilmore 2,' released on July 25, 2025, features Adam Sandler reprising his role alongside many original cast members and celebrity golfers such as Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka. The film's plot centers on Happy Gilmore, now a widower and down on his luck, who must save the sport of golf from a new renegade league while also securing money for his daughter's ballet education. Scottie Scheffler plays a significant role in the movie, humorously referencing his real-life 2024 arrest during the PGA Championship by portraying a character who gets disqualified and jailed after punching an opponent, showcasing his willingness to poke fun at himself. The PGA pros in the film team up with Happy and his former rival Shooter McGavin to prepare for an unorthodox tournament to combat the threat posed by the Maxi Golf League. Scheffler also brought his Open Championship trophy, the Claret Jug, to the movie premiere, reflecting his recent major win and highlighting his current status in the sport. Overall, the film blends nostalgic callbacks with modern golf themes and celebrity cameos to deliver a comedic and heartfelt sports story.
